Safety precautions

2WARNING

2CAUTION

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 automotivegrade 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.

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.

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 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 a short circuit 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.

Safety precautions

NOTE

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.

KRC-108S

Reset button

Characters in the LCD may become difficult to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).

The illustrations of the display and the panel appearing in this manual are examples used to explain more clearly how the controls are used. Therefore, what appears on the display in the illustrations may differ from what appears on the display on the actual equipment, and some of the illustrations on the display may represent something impossible in actual operation.

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.

2CAUTION

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.

FCC WARNING

This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.

Cleaning the Tape Head

After you have listened to many cassettes over a long period of time, magnetic powder from the tapes and dust accumulates on the tape head, causing noise and a deterioration in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use in car audio systems.

Handling Cassette Tapes

Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing slack cassette tapes can result in the tape tangling around the capstan and/or pinch rollers, causing trouble.

Do not play a deformed cassette or one whose label is starting to come off, as it can cause the unit to malfunction.

Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on dashboards and other spots exposed to direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They can deform the cassette.

Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes, such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes are very thin, and can tangle easily around the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit, causing unit failure.

Remove a cassette tape from the unit when not listening to it for a while. If you leave a tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the tape head and cause unit malfunction.
