WARNING

WARNING

The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle and "WARNING" are intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating
instructions.
Failure to heed the instructions will result in
severe injury or death.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may lead to accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.

If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

When problems occur such as a lack of sound or video,
foreign objects inside the unit, smoke coming out, or
noxious odors, stop use immediately and contact the
dealer where you bought the equipment. Failure to do so
may result in an accident or injury.

DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT OR LOOK AT
THE SCREEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

Operating the equipment may distract the driver from
looking ahead of the vehicle and cause accident. Always
stop the vehicle in a safe location before operating this
equipment.

DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY.

Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear
outside noises while driving. Driving while unable to hear
outside noises could be the cause of accident.

DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR PURPOSES
OTHER THAN STATED FOR THE VEHICLE.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD
BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY
POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper
polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical
leakage from the battery may cause fire or personal injury.

CAUTION

The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle and "CAUTION" are intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating
instructions.
Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury
or material damage.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Blocking them may cause heat to build up inside and may
result in fire.

STOP THE VEHICLE IF UNIT OPERATION MIGHT
INTERFERE WITH DRIVING.

PRECAUTIONS

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between
+60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your
unit on.

T ape Slack

Check and make sure any slack in the tape is taken up
before inserting the tape into the unit. A loose tape can get
caught in the mechanism and cause damage to the unit
and the tape itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil
or a similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn until
all the slack has been taken up.

DO NOT PLACE FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION
SLOTS OR GAPS.

Do not insert hands, fingers or foreign objects in the disc
or cassette insertion slots, or in gaps during monitor
startup/storage. Doing so may result in personal injury or
damage to the equipment.

damaged.
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can damage the tape
head.

Tape Head Cleaning

Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20 hours of use)
of the tape head with a wet type head-cleaning cassette
tape (available at audio stores) is necessary for best
performance.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of
the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the
fuse blows more than once, carefully check all electrical
connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's
voltage regulator checked.
