Before installation

# WARNING

• The unit can only be installed in a car with a 12V 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.

CAUTION

• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.

• Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.

• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.

• If you experience any problem during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

• Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal before installing the unit.

• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar materials. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires and terminals.

• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after mounting.

• 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.

• When connecting only two speakers, connect the connectors either to both of the front output terminals or to both of the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear terminals). For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do

10 | Quick Start Guide

not connect the - connector to a rear output terminal.

• 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.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the supplied screws. Using wrong screws, could damage the unit.

• 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 constant-voltage power source, as with battery wires, the battery may die.

• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when it is closed or opened.

• 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.

• Reception may become poor if there are metal objects near the Bluetooth antenna. (KDC-X997, KDC-BT955HD, KDC-X897, KDC-BT855U only)
