				The Safety of Your Ears is in
				Your Hands
				Get the most out of your equipment by playing it
				at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come
				through clearly without annoying blaring or dis-
				tortion and, most importantly, without affecting
				your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving.
				Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
				higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “nor-
				mal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
				hearing. Guard against this by setting your
				equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
				adapts.

Before you start

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

!Set your volume control at a low setting.

!Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

!Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

!Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

!Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

!Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

!Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.

!To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or malfunction, be sure to follow the directions below.

—Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before installation.

—Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wiring.

—Place all cables away from moving parts, such as the shift lever and seat rails.

—Place all cables away from hot places, such as near the heater outlet.

—Do not connect the yellow cable to the battery by passing it through the hole to the engine compartment.

—Cover any disconnected cable connectors with insulating tape.

—Do not shorten any cables.

—Never cut the insulation of the power cable of this unit in order to share the power with other devices. The current capacity of the cable is limited.

—Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.

—Never wire the negative speaker cable directly to ground.

—Never band together negative cables of multiple speakers.

!When this unit is on, control signals are sent through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle’s auto-anten- na relay control terminal (max. 300 mA

12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

Appendix

Additional information

When using discs that can be printed on label surfaces, check the instructions and the warnings of the discs. Depending on the discs, inserting and ejecting may not be possible. Using such discs may result in damage to this equipment.

Do not attach commercially available labels or other materials to the discs.

!The discs may warp making the disc unplayable.

!The labels may come off during playback and prevent ejection of the discs, which may result in damage to the equipment.

Firmly secure the iPod when driving. Do not let the iPod fall onto the floor, where it may become jammed under the brake or accelerator pedal.

About iPod settings

Address any questions you have about your USB storage device to the manufacturer of the device.

Connections via USB hub are not supported.

Do not connect anything other than a USB storage device.

Firmly secure the USB storage device when driving. Do not let the USB storage device fall onto the floor, where it may become jammed under the brake or accelerator pedal.

DualDiscs

DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the other.

Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this unit. Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this unit. In some cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.

Please refer to the information from the disc manufacturer for more detailed information about DualDiscs.
