To prevent injury and/or fire, take the following precautions:

• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of place during collisions and other jolts.

• When extending the ignition, battery or ground cables, make sure to use automotivegrade cables or other cables with an area of

0.75mm

(AWG18) or more to prevent cable deterioration and damage to the cable coating.

• To prevent short circuits, never put or leave any metallic objects (e.g., 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.

2WARNING

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 set the removed faceplate or the faceplate case in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.

• 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 short circuits when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

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

• During installation, do not use any screws except for the ones provided. The use of improper screws might result in damage to the main unit.

2CAUTION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You cannot connect the unit directly to the following CD automatic changers. For users who want to use older changers with the unit, follow the directions below according to the type of changer you own:

• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400

Use the extension cable and the control box attached to the CD changer, and the optional CA-DS100 converter cable.

• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDCC601 / KDC-C401

Use the extension cable attached to the CD changer, and the optional CA-DS100 converter cable.

• KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 / non-Kenwood CD changers

Cannot be used with this model.

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

Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the CD slot

If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter into the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and damage the unit.

2CAUTION

Safety precautions

— 4 —

English

• If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

• If the unit does not seem to be working right, try pressing the reset button first. If that does not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood dealer.

• Characters in the LCD may become difficult to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

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

NOTE

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.

Do not wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or cause the indicator letters to peel off.

The marking of products using lasers (Except for some areas)

The label is attached to the chassis/case and says that the component uses laser beams that have been classified as Class 1. It means that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

2CAUTION

Safety precautions

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD slot.

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 whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.

Handling Compact discs

Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or warped can cause the sound to skip and the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound quality. Take the following precautions to prevent your CDs from getting scratched or damaged.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (i.e., the side opposite the label) when holding it.

• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Storing CDs

• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight – such as a car seat or above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot places.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a whilst, and put them back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that have been removed from their cases or prop them against something.

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with conventional record cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.

Checking New CDs for Burrs

When playing a new CD for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not load properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot

Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to malfunction.

Removing the CD

Only remove the CD from the machine in a horizontal direction. You may damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as it ejects.

Do Not Use Special Shape CDs

• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit and do not use any special shape CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause the unit to malfunction.

• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark only for this unit.

Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the Labeled Side

Do not use the CD with the label sticker stuck on it. Using such a CD may cause the CD to be deformed and the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
