Caution on built-in hard disk drive (HDD)
The player incorporates a HDD. The HDD is sensitive to environmental changes including impacts, vibrations and
temperature changes. To prevent the data recorded in it from being damaged, observe the following cautions when
using the player. If any caution is disregarded, troubles including a failure, malfunction or loss of data may result.
¶ Do not leave the player in a place where the temperature may rise, for example under direct sunlight, in a closed
automobile under the sun or near a heater.
¶ Do not leave the player in a place where the temperature may drop extremely.
¶ Do not subject the player to a sudden change in temperature.
¶ Do not use the player when it is thundering.
¶ Do not leave the player in the proximity of a source of magnetism including a magnet or loudspeaker.
¶ Do not leave the player in a place subject to strong vibrations.
¶ Do not place or drop an object on the player.
¶ Do not place the player in a place subject to water drops or under high humidity. If the player is moistened, it may
become unusable or malfunctioning.
¶ Do not place a container of liquid near the player. If the player is moistened, it may become unusable or malfunctioning.
¶ Do not shake, hit, swing or drop the player whether it is being used or not.
¶ Do not push or twist the player with a strong force.
¶ Do not switch off the player or unplug the USB cable during the write or read operation in/from the built-in HDD.
¶ Note that KENWOOD will not assume any liabilities for damages related to the data stored in the built-in HDD.
7
Note on built-in hard disk (HDD)
Do not attempt to format the built-in HDD. Otherwise, the firmware (the software used for operation of the player)
will be lost and the player becomes unusable.
If you formatted the HDD by mistake, restore the firmware as described in the section mentioned below.
✍ [Kenwood Media Application] INSTRUCTION MANUAL [How to restore the firmware] ¤

Note on data erasure before disposal or transfer
The player incorporates a HDD. If the player is disposed of or transferred to a third party in the same condition as it has
been used, the data stored in the HDD may be known by the third party. It is recommended erase all HDD data before
disposal or transfer.
However, if you simply perform the data erasure or HDD formatting operation, the data may be restored by a malicious
third party. If you wish to ensure the confidentiality of the data you stored in the HDD, you need to erase the data using
commercially available data erasure software.
7
Note on the built-in battery
¶ For the replacement of the built-in battery, contact your dealer.
¶ The battery built into the player discharges spontaneously even when the player is not used. This means
that the built-in battery may be exhausted completely when the player is left unused for a long period. If this
happens, recharge the battery before using the player.
¶ The battery recharging time is variable depending on the condition of the battery and ambient temperature.
¶ The available playback time reduces when the player is used under low temperatures.
¶ The built-in battery can be recharged for about 500 times. (This is a reference value and is not guaranteed.)
¶ The built-in battery is a consumable part, and the available playback time reduces gradually after repeated
use. If the available playback time becomes very short even after the battery has been recharged fully, the
battery may be degraded; replace it with new one.
¶ KENWOOD will not assume any liabilities for the alteration or loss of data caused due to complete discharg-
ing of the built-in battery.
¶ The built-in battery is a lithium ion battery.
It is free from the memory effect of Ni-Cad and nickel-hydrogen batteries, with which the capacity decreases if the
battery is charged or discharged incompletely for several times.
The built-in battery therefore accepts additional charging before it has exhausted completely.
