•To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the
negative car battery terminal until the unit has
been mounted and connected completely.
•When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse of higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
• Keep screwdrivers, etc. and other metallic or
magnetic objects away from the playback head.
•When your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before
