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.

• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive

shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the

terminals of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.

• 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 / KDC-C601 / 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.

2CAUTION

Safety precautions

English

Safety precautions

• 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.

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.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

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

Handling Mini discs

• The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot

be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will be damaged and use of the MD will no longer be possible. If the shutter has been opened due to some cause, be careful not to touch the recording portion with a finger. Doing so will cause the sound to skip.

• Do not use an MD that has a peeling label.

Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling label may cause problems, such as the label coming off inside the player and the resultant inability to eject the MD.

• Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge

surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in the disc not loading or being unable to eject it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to open the shutter.)

• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a

prolonged period. The ejected MD should be placed in an MD case for storage.

• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to

direct sunlight (such as on a instrument panel) or in other places that reach high temperatures. The MD cartridge will become misshapen and will no longer be usable.

• MDs designed for use with data cannot be

used. Please use MDs designed for music.

• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead

to breakdown.

Lens Fogging

In cold climates, there may be a period after you turn on your vehicle's heater when the lens that guides the laser beam used in your MD player fogs up. If this happens, you cannot play mini discs. Take out discs and the fogging will disappear. If it does not return to normal after several hours, contact your Kenwood dealer.

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.

RDS features

(See page 6)

RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as network information being transmitted from radio stations. When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS capability), the programme service name of the station is displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which station is being received. RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data for the same station. When you are making long trips, this function automatically switches to the particular frequency with the best reception for the particular network of stations that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception. These include stations stored in the station preset memory that you often listen to.

EON (Enhanced Other Network)

Stations that offer EON also transmit information about other RDS stations that have traffic information. When you are tuned to a station that is not transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the warning to be received.

AF (Alternative Frequency) Function

When poor reception is experienced, automatically switch to another frequency broadcasting the same programme in the same RDS network with better reception. The ™ indicator lights up when the AF function is turned on.

Turning AF Function On/Off:

Hold down the MENU button for one second or more. "MENU" is displayed and the menu mode is turned on.

Press the ¢ button repeatedly until the AF function appears in the display. Press the 4 button to search in the other direction. The function setting is indicated by "AF ON" or "AF OFF" in the display, indicating that the AF function is on or off, respectively.

Switching settings

Press either the AM button or FM button. The display and setting will change.

Press the MENU button to end the menu mode.

Displaying Frequencies:

• When the Switching Clock display function (see p.30) is OFF:

Press the DISP button.

• When the Switching Clock display function (see p.30) is ON:

Hold down the DISP button for one second or more. The frequency for the RDS station will be displayed for five seconds instead of the station name.

When no other stations with stronger reception are available for the same programme in the RDS network, you may hear the incoming broadcast in bits and snatches. Turn off the AF function in such a case.
