• When extending the ignition wire, battery
wire, or ground wire, use 0.75mm2(AWG18)
or larger automotive grade wire to avoid wire
deterioration or damage to the covering.
• Check that no metal objects (coins, tools,
etc.) are left inside the unit to avoid short
circuits.
• If you smell or see smoke, turn the power
off immediately and consult your Kenwood
dealer.
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the
LCD is damaged or broken due to shock. The
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your
health or even fatal.
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD

keep the unit in proper working order.
• Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC

your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.
