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.
• 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.

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.
Setting of the O-N switch will be required depending on the centre unit that is to be connected. The operations you perform and the resultant operation of the unit will differ depending on the setting of the O-N switch. Please see the appropriate description of operations for the "O" or "N" switch setting.

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 hard 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.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or condensation may form on the lens in the MD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, MDs 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.
2CAUTION
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.
• 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.

Safety precautions
• 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This unit is NOT designed to be connected directly to control units that are manufactured and sold before 1994. If used with such units, an optional CA-SD200 (sold separately) must be used.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS UNIT AND CONTROL UNIT.
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.)
