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 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 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.

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.

If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.

Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erases characters.

Reset button

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

•The illustrations of the display and the panel appearing in this manual are examples used to explain more clearly how the controls are used. 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.

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

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

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.

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot, clean it every once in a while. 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 while, consult your Kenwood dealer.

MP3 playing order

When selected for play, Folder Search, File Search, or for Folder Select, files and folders are accessed in the order in which they were written by the CD writer.

Because of this, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3 are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99", depending on your CD writer.

For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search, or Folder Select as shown below.
