Safety precautions

2

English

To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:

• Ensure that the unit is securely installed.
Otherwise it may fly out of place during
collisions and other jolts.

• When extending the ignition, battery or ground
cables, make sure to use automotive-grade
cables or other cables with an area of 0.75mm

2

(AWG18) or more to prevent cable deterioration
and damage to the cable 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• When drilling a hole in the car to fix the
brackets, make sure not to damage the fuel
tank, brake tube, wiring harnesses, etc. on
the other side.

If you experience problems during installation,
consult your Kenwood dealer.

Cleaning the Unit

If the surface is dirty, wipe it clean with a
silicon cloth or soft dry cloth with the power
off.

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol,
or other volatile solvents.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Models which can be connected with this
device are those that went on sale from 1998
(mentioned below). (As of June, 1999).

Accessories

■

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 cable
connections for each unit.

3. Connect the speaker cables of 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. Install the unit in your car.

7. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.

8. Press the reset button.

• If your car is not prepared for this special
connection-system, consult your KENWOOD
dealer.

• Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO­JASO) when the antenna cord has an ISO
plug.

• Make sure that all cable 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 cable is
connected to a power source with constant
voltage such as a battery cable, 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 cable to a
power source that can be turned on and off
with the ignition key.

• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the
cables have not caused a short circuit, then
replace the old fuse with one with the same
rating.

• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals
touch metal on the car or anything else
conducting electricity. To prevent short
circuits do not remove the caps from unused
terminals or from the ends of the
unconnected cables.

• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the
terminals to which they correspond. The unit
may receive damage or fail to work if you
share the - cables and/or ground them to
any metal part in the car.

• After the unit is installed, check whether the
brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car
are working properly.

• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape
or other similar material.

• During use, the surface temperature of this
unit will become high, therefore it should not
be mounted where anything sensitive to the
heat, such as people or resins, would come
into contact with it.

• Do not install the unit under the carpet.
Otherwise heat build-up occurs and the unit
may be damaged.

• Install this unit in a location which allows
heat to easily dissipate.
Once installed, do not place any object on
top of the unit.

• Install the unit securely in a location that
does not interfere with driving.
