2Warning

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion — and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably

and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decible Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at

two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

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 (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 the dashboard) or other hot places.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that are removed from their cases or prop them against something.

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the center 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 while playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories

Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilizers, 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, holding it flat. You may damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as it ejects.

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.

Stealth Retraction Mechanism

You can help prevent theft of the unit by reversing the faceplate so that the control panel cannot be seen, hiding the unit, and shutting off the audio.

Power ON/OFF:

When you turn your vehicle's ignition on, the unit's power will also turn on, with the faceplate reversing to show the control panel. When you turn your vehicle's ignition off, the faceplate will reverse to hide the control panel, and the unit's power will turn off.

• The first time you use the unit, you need to press “the touchsensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate. (as illustrated)

• When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the action.

Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles

• Make sure the console is uncovered while the faceplate is reversed.

• Do not exert any excess force on the movable parts of the unit, including the faceplate, as it can cause failure in the unit’s mechanism.

Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):

Keep pressing the CLOSE/PWR OFF button for at least one second. The faceplate will reverse, hiding the unit. The unit will turn off.

• When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object and press the TUN button to turn the unit back on, then turn it off again to have it close properly.

• While the control panel is moving, pressing the buttons will not have any effect. Do not try to press the buttons on the control panel as the faceplate is moving, as excessive force may damage the unit.

• During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left
