Safety precautions

2WARNING

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 automotive-grade 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.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following precautions:

•Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12 V 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 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 short circuits when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

•Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

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.

2CAUTION

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.

Lens Fogging

Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew or condensation may form on the lens in the DVD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, DVDs 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.

If that does not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood dealer.

The Mark Position of Your Car Immediately After Installation

•Immediately after installation, the information of the GPS satellite is taken in and it may take several minutes to measure the position of the current location.

•Immediately after installation, the initial value setting of the gyro sensor is required. After measuring the position of the current location, drive of about 6.2 mile (10 km) and further at a constant speed at least 24.8 mile/h (40 km/h) in a place where there are few obstacles (for example, buildings and tree-lined streets).

NOTE

•Until the initial values are set, the position and speed indication of you car's mark on the navigation system may differ greatly from the actual values.

•The proper connection of the car speed signal wire can be checked with the menu screen. Please see the instruction manual for details.
