Safety
¤WARNING
Stop the car before operating the unit.
Important to know...
To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
Caution: Adjust the volume so that you can
hear the sound outside the car. Driving with
the volume adjusted to a too high level may
cause an accident.

laser lens. This may cause disc read errors. In
this case, remove the disc and wait for the
moisture to evaporate.
The illustrations in this manual are examples
used to explain more clearly how the
controls are used. Therefore, what appears
on the illustrations may differ from what
appears on the actual equipment.
If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
When you purchase external components,
check with your Kenwood dealer to make
sure that they work with your model and in
your area.
Maintenance
Cleaning the unit: Wipe off the dirt on the
panel with a dry silicon or soft cloth. Failure
to observe this precaution may result in
damage to the monitor or unit.
Cleaning the connector: The unit may not
function properly if the connector between
the unit and faceplate are dirty. Detach the
faceplate and clean the connector with a
cotton swab gently, being careful not to
damage the connector.

Basic procedure
1 Remove the key from the ignition switch,
then disconnect the · terminal of the
car battery.
2 Make proper input and output wire
connections.
\ <Wiring connection> (page 30)
3 Install the unit to your car.
\ <Installing the unit> (page 31)
4 Reconnect the · terminal of the car
bat tery.
5 Reset the unit. (page 4)
¤Warning
The unit can only be installed in a car with a
12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and
the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis
(ground), you may cause a short circuit,
that in turn may start a fire. Always connect
those wires to the power source running
through the fuse box.
Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal
and make all electrical connections before
installing the unit.
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape
or other similar material. To prevent a short
circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends
of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s
chassis again after mounting.
If the power is not turned ON (“PROTECT”
is displayed), the speaker wire may have a
short-circuit or touched the chassis of the
vehicle and the protection function may
have been activated. Therefore, the speaker
wire should be checked.
¤Caution
If your car’s ignition key switch does not
have an ACC position, connect the ignition
wires to a power source that can be turned
on and off with the ignition key. If you
connect the ignition wires to a constantvoltage power source, as with battery wires,
the battery may die.
Do not use your own screws. Use only the
screws provided.
Install this unit in the console of your
vehicle. Make sure the faceplate will not hit
the lid of the console (if any) when closing
and opening.
After the installing the unit, check whether
the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the
car are working properly.
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle
is 30° or less.
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires
are not touching other parts to cause a
short circuit, and then replace the old fuse
with one with a new the same rating.
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the
corresponding terminals. The unit may be
damaged or fail to work if you share the ·
wires or ground them to any metal part in
the car.
When only two speakers are being
connected to the system, connect the
connectors either to both the front output
terminals or to both the rear output
terminals (do not mix front and rear).

Mounting and wiring this product requires
skills and experience. For safety’s sake, leave
this work to professionals.
If you experience problems during

For Good Reception
To assure good reception, note the following:
Communicate with the cell-phone within
the line-of-sight distance of 10 m (30
ft). The communication range becomes
shorter depending on the surrounding
environment. The communication
range also becomes shorter when there
is an obstacle between this unit and
the cell-phone. The above maximum
communication range (10 m) is not always
assured.
A broadcast station or walkie-talkie located
nearby can interfere with communication
due to a too strong signal.
¤ CAUTION
Install this unit in the console of your
vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part of this unit
during and shortly after the use of the
unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and
enclosure become hot.
