The instruction manual contains important information and warnings about the
operation of this unit. Please store it inside your vehicle to have access to it any time.
ZENEC reserves the right to revise this document at any time without prior notice.
2. Keep these instructions. Whoever uses the unit should have access to this manual.
3. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions.
4. This unit is designed to be used in a vehicle with 12V DC battery and negative ground.
5. Do not operate the unit in any other way than described in this manual. Failure to follow the
instructions within this manual may void your warranty.
6. Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way, because it will void your warranty. Do not attempt to
repair or to service the unit yourself, but contact an authorized ZENEC dealer instead.
7. Use only original accessories which are designed and manufactured for the unit, otherwise you
will risk damage. Install the unit according to the mounting manual by using the supplied mounting
accessories. The forces of acceleration for accidents are sometimes huge. Incorrectly mounted
units are a big risk for the driver and the car passengers, during an accident.
8. Protect the unit from water and other liquids, which can enter the casing. A short circuit or even fire
could be the result.
9. To prevent a short circuit, never insert or stick any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) into
the unit.
10. Before you replace a defective fuse, try to find the cause for the short circuit. Please pay attention
to the cables of the power supply! If the short circuit doesn't result from a failure of the power supply
or wiring, you can replace the defective fuse with a new one (same value). If the short-circuit is still
existing, please contact an authorized ZENEC dealer.
11. When connecting to any other device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not
connect incompatible products.
12. Be careful not to drain the car battery while using the unit when the car engine is turned off. Because
the unit uses a considerable amount of energy and the battery will be charged only while the engine
is running, it might happen that the battery will discharge to a point where it's not longer possible to
start the engine.
13. According to the traffic laws in different European countries, driving with monitors which are showing
movies in the viewing range of the driver is not allowed, because the driver might be distracted from
the traffic. Please respect the traffic regulations of your country, or you might face penalties in case
of an accident or even loose your insurance coverage. Please pay attention to the volume inside
your vehicle, because you are obliged to notice exterior sounds like police sirens etc.
14. Don't expose the unit to hard impacts. A mechanical or electrical malfunction of the unit could be the
result.
15. Should any problems or questions occur during installation, please consult your ZENEC dealer/
importer.

The selected item is highlighted in orange onscreen:
AFON/OFF: When activated, AF function automatically switches to an alter-native frequency (AF) of your chosen station, in order to always offer the
best possible reception quality.
TA ON/OFF: When activated, the radio temporarily switches, for the duration

REG ON/OFF: At certain daytimes some stations divide their program into
regional subprograms. The REG function prevents your receiver from

NOTE:
■ This unit features an RDS tuner. RDS is a system which transmits data
on top of the FM radio signal. Availability and content of the RDS data
depend on the respective broadcast station and its signal strength. RDS
does, for example, transmit alternative frequencies, which allow for
frequency changes without user interaction. AM band doesn´t support
RDS functions.
■ You need to have the AF function activated in order to use the RDS
feature. However, the AF function is deactivated ex factory. We recom mend to activate it directly after mounting/installation of your device.
