Precautions

#WARNINGS

ÑÑTo prevent injury or fire, take the following precautions:

•To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic tools) inside the unit.

•Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s display when you are driving for any extended period.

•If you experience problems during installation, consult your KENWOOD dealer.

ÑÑPrecautions on using this unit

•When you purchase optional accessories, check with your KENWOOD dealer to make sure that they work with your model and in your area.

•You can select a language to display menus, audio file tags, etc. See User Interface Setup (P.82).

•The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast Data System feature won’t work in areas where the service is not supported by any broadcasting station.

ÑÑProtecting the monitor

•To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate the monitor using a ball point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.

ÑÑLens fogging

When you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew may form on the lens in the disc player of the unit due to condensation. This condensation on the lens (also called lens fogging) may not allow discs to play. In such a

situation, remove the disc and wait for the dew to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate normally after a while, consult your KENWOOD dealer.

ÑÑPrecautions on handling discs

•Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.

•Do not stick tape etc. on the disc, or use a disc with tape stuck on it.

•Do not use disc type accessories.

•Clean the disc from the center toward the outside rim.

•When removing a disc from this unit, pull it out horizontally.

•If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs, use the disc only after removing the burrs with a ballpoint pen etc.

•Discs that are not round cannot be used.

•8-cm (3 inch) discs cannot be used.

•Discs with coloring on the recording surface or discs that are dirty cannot be used.

•This unit can only play the following types of CDs.

ÑÑCleaning the unit

•If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.

NOTE

•Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile

liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erase the screened print.

•This unit may not correctly play discs which do not have the mark.

•You cannot play a disc that has not been finalized. (For the finalization process, see your writing software and your recorder's instruction manual.)

6

ÑÑAcquiring GPS signal

The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle

is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition.

After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.

ÑÑAbout GLONASS

This unit uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) in addition to GPS.

Combining GPS and GLONASS can refine positioning accuracy than using GPS only.

ÑÑCaution for Smartphone Users

Simultaneously running multiple applications on your smartphone while screen sharing places heavy demand on the microprocessor of the phone, potentially affecting communication and performance.

For best results while pairing with your Kenwood receiver, please be sure to close any unused applications.
