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.
