WARNING

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in serious injury or ﬁ re.

Do not attempt to install or service the KNA-G610 by yourself. Installing or servicing the unit without training and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.

When extending ignition wires, battery wires, or ground wires, use automotive-grade wires or other wires with AWG 18 (0.75 mm greater to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.

If the unit starts to emit smoke or unusual odors, turn off the power immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer. Keep small articles (like screws or batteries) out of the reach of children. If any such object is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor

immediately.

gauge) or

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may result in injury or property damage.

Be sure to ground the unit to the chassis of your vehicle. Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Insulate unconnected wires, and do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed. Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch metal on the vehicle or anything else that can conduct electricity. Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit. The KNA-G610 is not waterproof.

Installing the Main Unit

Use the screws or the hook-and-loop fasteners provided to mount the main unit in the vehicle. Select a location that allows you to access the SD card slot on the unit.

CAUTION

Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity, dust, spills, or liquids. Check for cables or other parts underneath the ﬂ oor mat before cutting the ﬂ oor mat.

Installing the GPS Antenna

CAUTION

Do not paint the antenna. This will impair or disable signal reception. Remove any object or accumulated snow, etc., from the top of the antenna. It will reduce reception strength. Do not pull the cord when removing the antenna or adjusting its position. This can cause a short or break the wires. The permanent adhesive on the back of the metal plate is extremely difﬁ cult to remove after it is installed.

The GPS antenna can be installed either inside or outside the vehicle. It should be mounted horizontally for best GPS reception. The GPS antenna must have a clear view of the sky. If you install the antenna inside the vehicle, place it close to a window. GPS signals can pass through glass but not through metal. Refer to the image on the next page for recommended places to install the antenna. Place the GPS antenna on a metallic surface, such as the roof of your vehicle, for best reception. If a metallic surface is not available, mount the GPS antenna on the enclosed metal plate. See the next page for further instructions.

Acquiring GPS Signals

The ﬁ rst time you turn on the KNA-G610, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the ﬁ rst time. This process could take up to several minutes. Ensure that your vehicle is outdoors in an open area, away from tall buildings and trees, for fastest acquisition. After the system acquires satellites for the ﬁ rst time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.

Changing the Fuses

If you need to replace a fuse on the red or yellow wires, to prevent a short circuit, ensure that the wires are not touching. Then replace the old fuse with a new 2 A fuse.

CAUTION

When replacing a fuse, use only a new fuse with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause damage to your unit. To prevent short circuits, disconnect the wire harness before replacing a fuse.
