Caution
Observe the following cautions when using
this unit.
q
Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road
and traffic conditions while driving.
q
Do not insert or allow your hand or fingers to be
caught in the unit.
To prevent injury, do not get your hand or fingers
caught in moving parts or in the disc slot. Especially
watch out for infants.
q
This unit is designed for use exclusively in

q
Depending upon the transmission condition of
electro-magnetic waves, the geographical reasons and/or the weather conditions, you may
not receive the NOAA radio partially or at all.
q
Make sure that your weather radio can receive
properly before driving, especially, before use
in a critical condition.
q
Set the volume level to low enough before the
AUX connection is completed.
Failure to observe this, the loud noise may come out and
damage your speakers and your hearing. Direct connection of the speaker/headphone output of an external device
without any attenuator may distort sound or damage the
connected external device.
Observe the following cautions when installing.
q
Refer wiring and installation to qualified service personnel.
Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. For maximum safety, have it installed by the dealership. We are not liable for any problems resulting
from your own installation of the unit.

Take care not to damage the leads.
When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent them from getting caught in the vehicle chassis,
screws, and moving parts such as seat rails. Do not
scratch, pull, bend or twist the leads. Do not run them
near heat sources or place heavy objects on them. If
leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect the
leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.
q
Use the designated parts and tools for installation.
