Safety precautions

2WARNING

2CAUTION

To prevent injury or fire, take the 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 0.75mm2 (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 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.

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following precautions:

•Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.

•Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.

•Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

•Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.

•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.

•Do not place any object between the faceplate and the unit.

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

•Do not apply excessive force to the moving faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or malfunction.

•Do not apply excessive force to the open faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will cause damage or breakdown.

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". When you connect a model with no "O-N" switch, the converter cord CA-DS100 available as an option may be required. For details, consult your Kenwood dealer.

A disc changer doesn't work when it is connected without using these options.

If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected, some unavailable functions and information that cannot be displayed are generated. 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.

Do Not Load 3-in. CDs in the CD slot

If you try to load a 3 in. CD with its adapter into the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and damage the unit.

Therefore, what appears on the display in the illustrations may differ from what appears on the display on the actual equipment, and some of the illustrations on the display may represent something impossible in actual operation.

Lens Fogging

Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or condensation may form on the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play. In such a situation, remove the disc and wait for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate normally after a while, consult your Kenwood dealer.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Unit

If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.

faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erases characters.
