This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications if it is not installed and used in accordance with these instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Cleaning the unit

If the unit becomes dirty, turn its power off and wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents to clean the unit. These may cause damage or remove indicator characters.

Warning

Do not operate the unit in a way that might divert your attention from driving safely. As a driver, you alone are responsible for safely operating your vehicle in accordance with traffic safety laws at all times.

Warning

Take the following precautions to prevent fire and avoid personal injury:

• To avoid short circuits, never put or leave any metallic objects (coins, tools, etc.) inside the unit.

• If the unit emits smoke or strange smells, turn the power

off immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.

• Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks.

• If the LCD display becomes damaged or broken, do not touch the liquid crystal fluid. The fluid may be dangerous to your health or even fatal. If the liquid crystal fluid contacts your body or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water.

Installation in a vehicle with the KPA-H2C kit (available separately)

Note: Do not put Here2Anywhere in the docking station until you have completed the installation.

4. Using the provided screw, assemble the docking station cradle to the base.

2. You can bend the leaves on the base to conform to curved mounting surfaces.

3. Peel the covering away from the adhesive on the bottom of the base and adhere it to the mounting surface. Use the provided screws to securely attach the base to the surface.

• If using screws, be sure that you do not damage wiring or other systems on the other side of the mounting surface.

1. Determine where you want to mount Here2Anywhere.

• Do not install Here2Anywhere where it may obstruct your view through the windshield or your view of your vehicle’s indicator displays.

• Do not install Here2Anywhere where it will hinder your access to the vehicle’s controls.

• Do not install Here2Anywhere where it may hinder the function of safety devices such as an airbag. Doing so may prevent the air-bag from functioning properly in the event of an accident.

• Find a location that provides good visibility of and access to Here2Anywhere’s front panel.

• Kenwood strongly recommends that you mount Here2Anywhere in a location where the base can be attached with the provided screws.

6A. Plug the cassette adapter

into the back of the cradle, as shown.

Installation in a vehicle: Routing the cable

Here2Anywhere Instruction Manual

Installation in a vehicle: Mounting the antenna

Here2Anywhere Instruction Manual

1. Temporarily plug the antenna into the “1-Sat/Terr (Main)” connector on the back of the cradle until it is firmly seated, as shown.

Note: If you’re using the Kenwood CX-SR10 SIRIUS antenna, you’ll need to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectors—we recommend labeling the wires with their respective colors. (See pg. 9, figure 16 of the CX-SR10 Installation Manual for details). Once you’ve removed the housings, connect the wire that had the yellow connector to the connector on the cradle labeled “1-Sat/Terr (Main)”, and connect the other one to the connector labeled “2-Terr”.

2. Find an antenna location on a metal surface at least 12” x 12”, and at least 6” froma window.

• Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the roof; mounting on the trunk lid will work for convertibles.

• If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be necessary to mount the antenna off-center.

3.The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface.

• Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location:

4. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter.

5. Slide Here

Anywhere all the way into the cradle so that the connector at the rear of the unit

makes proper contact in the cradle. Press the POWER button to turn Here2Anywhere on.

6. Aim the remote control at Here2Anywhere, press the DIRECT button, then enter the number “1-8-4”, and press the SELECT button. If your Here2Anywhere has been properly connected and the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio, the display will read “Acquiring Signal”. Re-orient the antenna until you hear audio. (See

Antenna

Signal

, on page 25 to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)

• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the satellite signal could be blocked

7. Turn Here2Anywhere’s power off and remove it from the cradle; unplug the cigarette lighter

adapter from the cigarette lighter; unplug the antenna from the cradle.

8. Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around rear window, as shown below.

9. Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits.

• For SUVs, minvans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

10. From the trunk, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the back of the cradle.

• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.

• Keep the wire away from areas where it could become

tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.

11. Plug the antenna into the back of cradle (see pg. 8, Step 1).

12. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter.

• KENWOOD RECOMMENDS UNPLUGGING THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER AFTER YOU TURN THE VEHICLE’S IGNITION OFF. (In some vehicles, the cigarette lighter remains active after the ignition has been turned off, and leaving Here2Anywhere’s cigarette lighter adapter plugged-into the cigarette lighter could drain the vehicle’s battery.)
