Safety precautions
2WARNING
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 wires, make sure to use automotive­grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire 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.

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.
• 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.

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 Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
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.
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.
About Cassette tape
Cleaning the tape head
When there’s noise or the sound quality is bad during tape play the tape head maybe dirty, clean the tape head.
About Cassette tape
• If the tape is slack tighten it.
• If the cassette tape label is peeling off glue it on again.
• Don’t use deformed cassette tape.
• Don’t place cassette tape on the dashboard etc. where the temperature is high.
• Don’t use cassette tape that’s 100 minutes long or longer.

The use of any accessories except for those provided might result in damage to the unit. Make sure only to use the accessories shipped with the unit, as shown above.
Installation Procedure
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and
disconnect the - terminal of the battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and connect it to the speaker connector in your vehicle.
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and connect it to the external power connector on your vehicle.
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
7. Install the unit in your car.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
9. Press the reset button.
2CAUTION
• If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the antenna cord has an ISO plug.
• Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock completely.
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening.
