following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way until it is fully

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

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.
