Safety Precautions

2WARNING

Take the following precautions to prevent fire and avoid personal injury:

• 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 contacts your body or clothing, wash it off with soap immediately.

2CAUTION

Take the following precautions to keep the unit in proper working order.

• Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC power supply with a negative ground connection.

• Do not open the top or bottom cover.

• Do not install the unit in places it is exposed to direct sunlight, high heat or humidity, water may splash over it, or dust exists.

• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause your unit to malfunction.

•To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

NOTE

• If you have difficulty in installing this unit in your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.

• If it doesn’t seem to be working properly, first press the Reset button. If the malfunction persists, consult your Kenwood dealer.

Reset button

• Some car stereos cause the sound of the tuner to make for a moment when an engine is activated.

• The reception of the tuner may be reduced a little if the KCA-R70FM is used.

• If the sound is lower than the tuner sound, raise up the volume level of the CD/MD with using the receiver.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

About the disc changer to be connected:

To connect a disc changer having the "O-N" switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N". Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers can be connected.

You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you connect them incorrectly.

Precautions when connecting disc changers released in 1997 or earlier.

The optional switching adapter KCA-S210A is necessary to connect a disc changer that is not equipped with the "O-N" switch except KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205 and C705.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.

Précautions de sécurité

2AVERTISSEMENT

Pour éviter tout risque de feu et de blessures physiques, observer les précautions suivantes:

• Enfoncer la façade amovible à fond sur l'appareil principal de façon à ce qu'elle soit fermement encastrée, et ainsi éviter qu'elle ne se détache lors d'un éventuel accident. Si le besoin de rallonger l'un des câbles d'alimentation (masse, mémoire...) utiliser des câbles de catégorie automobile d'une section minimum de 0,75 mm2(AWG 18) ou plus afin d'éviter toute détérioration de ces derniers.

• Vérifier que l'on n’a pas laissé d'objets métalliques (pièces de monnaie, outils, etc.) à l'intérieur de l'appareil, afin d'éviter les courts-circuits.

• Lors d'un dégagement d'odeur ou de fumée, éteindre immédiatement l'appareil et consulter son agent Kenwood.

• Ne touchez pas le cristal liquide si l'affichage LCD était endommagé ou cassé à cause d'un choc. Le cristal liquide peut être dangereux pour votre santé et même mortel. Si le cristal liquide de l'affichage LCD entrait en contact avec votre corps ou un vêtement, lavez-le immédiatement avec du savon.

2ATTENTION

Pour maintenir l'appareil en parfait état de marche, observer les précautions suivantes.

• Assurez-vous de mettre l'appareil à la masse sur une alimentation négative de 12V CC.

• N'ouvrez pas le couvercle supérieur ou inférieur de l'appareil.

• N'installez pas l'appareil dans un endroit exposé directement à la lumière du soleil, à une chaleur excessive ou à l'humidité. Evitez aussi les endroits trop poussiéreux et où l'appareil risque d'être éclaboussé.

• Lors du remplacement d'un fusible, utilisez seulement un fusible neuf avec la valeur indiquée. L'utilisation d'un fusible d'une valeur différente peut être la cause d'un mauvais fonctionnement de votre appareil.

• Pour éviter les courts-circuits lors du remplacement d'un fusible, déconnectez d'abord le faisceau de câbles.

REMARQUE

• Si l'on rencontre des difficultés pour installer l'appareil dans le véhicule, consulter son agent Kenwood.

• Si l'appareil semble ne pas fonctionner correctement, appuyer tout d'abord sur la touche "reset" (réinitialisation). Si l'appareil ne fonctionne toujours pas, consulter son agent Kenwood.

Touche "Reset"

• Sur certains auto-radios, le tuner n'entre en fonction que quelques instans après la mise en route du moteur.

• La réception du tuner rusque d'être un peu monis forte avec le KCA-R70FM.

• Si le son du CD/MD est plus faible que le son du tuner, augmenter le volume sonore du CD/MD à partir du réoepteur.

• Pendant l'installation, n'utilisez aucunes autres vis que celles fournies. L'utilisation de vis incorrectes pourrait endommager l'appareil.

INFORMATION IMPORTANTE

A propos du changeur de disques/lecteur de CDs à connecter:

Vous pouvez endommager à la fois votre appareil et le changeur de CD si vous les connectez incorrectement.

Précautions à prendre lors de la connexion de changeurs de disques sortis en 1997 ou avant.

L'adaptateur de commutation en option KCAS210A est nécessaire pour connecter un changeur de disques n'étant pas équipé du commutateur "O-N" sauf pour KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205 et C705.
