exposed to water, is smoking, or smells), turn it off
immediately and consult your dealership.
T Any NOAA broadcast weather report, including
current and forecasts, may not reflect your
actual weather conditions at your exact time
and location. You should always pay attention
to your actual weather conditions to make safe
decisions accordingly.
T Keep accessories out of reach of infants.

Caution
tions and installation instructions. Failure
to heed the instructions may result in injury
or material damage.
Observe the following warnings when
installing.
T Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) bat-
tery terminal before installation.
Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery
terminal connected may cause electrical shock and
injury due to a short circuit.
Some cars equipped with the electrical safety
system have specific procedures of battery terminal
disconnection.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY
LEAD TO THE UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF
THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM RESULTING
IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
T Never use safety-related components for
installation, grounding, and other such functions.
Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel
tank, brake, suspension, steering wheel, pedals,
airbag, etc.) for wiring or fixing the product or its
accessories.
T Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric
wiring, and other items before installing the
product.
If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to
attach or wire the product, first check where the
wire harness, gasoline tank, and electric wiring are
located. Then open the hole from outside if possible.
T Never install the product in a location where it
interferes with your field of vision.
T Never have the power cord branched to supply
other equipment with power.
T After installation and wiring, you should check
the normal operation of other electrical equipment.
The continuation of their using in abnormal condi-
tions may cause fire, electrical shock or a traffic
accident.
T Make sure the leads do not interfere with driv-
ing or getting in and out of the vehicle.
T Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short
circuiting.

Caution
Observe the following cautions when
using this unit.
T Keep the sound volume at an appropriate
level.
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of
road and traffic conditions while driving.
T This unit is designed for use exclusively in
trucks.
T Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period
with the engine turned off.
Operating the audio system for a long period of
time with the engine turned off will drain the battery.
T Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or
excessive heat.
Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature
of the unit, and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other
damage to the unit.
T Do not use the product where it will be ex-
posed to water, moisture, or dust.
Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust
may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the
unit. Make especially sure that the unit does not get
wet in truck washes or on rainy days.
T To ensure safety, never attempt to preset sta-
tions while you are driving.
T
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.
T Make sure that your weather radio can receive
properly before driving, especially, before use
in a critical condition.
T 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.
T When using this unit, noise may occurs when
there is an electromagnetic-wave generator
such as a cellular phone near this unit, if that
noise is obvious and cannot be eliminated,
please keep an electromagnetic-wave generator such as a cellular phone away from this
unit.
Observe the following cautions when
installing.
T 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.
T Follow the instruction to install and wire the
product.
Not following the instructions to properly install and
wire the product could cause an accident or fire.
T 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.
T Use the designated parts and tools for installa-
tion.
Use the supplied or designated parts and appropri-
ate tools to install the product. The use of parts
other than those supplied or designated may result
in internal damage to the unit. Faulty installation
may lead to an accident, a malfunction or fire.
T Do not block the air vent or the cooling plate of
the unit.
Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the
unit to overheat and will result in fire or other damage.
T Do not install the product where it is exposed
to strong vibrations or is unstable.
Avoid slanted or strongly curved surfaces for
installation. If the installation is not stable, the unit
may fall down while driving and this can lead to an
accident or injury.
T Installation Angle
The product should be installed in a horizontal posi-
tion with the front end up at a convenient angle.
The user should bear in mind that in some areas
there may be restrictions on how and where this
unit must be installed. Consult your dealer for
further details.
T Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring
is completed before installation.
T To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect
the power connector until the whole wiring is
completed.
T Do not connect more than one speaker to one
set of speaker leads. (except for connecting to
a tweeter)

Caution
PLEASE FOLLOW THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS OF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE OR COUNTRY FOR
WIRING, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS UNIT AND THE DEVICES TO BE CONNECTED.
The following applies only in the U.S.A.
Part 15 of the FCC Rules
FCC Warning:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules for Radio Receiver. Operation is subject
to the condition that this device may not cause
harmful interference. Any unauthorized changes
or modifications to this equipment may void the
user's authority to operate this device.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, no change to the antenna or the
device is permitted. Any change to the antenna
or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void
user’s authority to operate the device.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment
and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. This
equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it
deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it
should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm
and more between the radiator and person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and legs).
NOTICE
This equipment has been tasted 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 generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. 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 or 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.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
