following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
• When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotivegrade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire
coating.
•To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it
contains glass parts.
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the

RDS (Radio Data System)
When listening to an RDS station, the
programme service name of the station is
displayed, advising you quickly which station
is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit alternative frequency data for the
same station. When you are making long
trips, this function automatically switches to
the particular frequency with the best
reception for the particular network of
stations that you want to listen to. The data is
automatically stored, allowing you to switch
quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting
the same programme, that has better
reception. These include stations stored in the
station preset memory that you often listen
to.
Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other
Network> also transmit information about
other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station
that is not transmitting traffic information, but
another RDS station starts transmitting a
traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically
switches to the other station for the duration
of the bulletin.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission
(announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current
functions are interrupted to allow the warning
to be received.
