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.

• 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.
