Safety precautions

2WARNING

To prevent injury or fire, take the following
precautions:

• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any

metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside
the unit.

• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and

experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting
and wiring work to professionals.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take
the following precautions:

• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC

power supply.

• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct

sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid
places with too much dust or the possibility of
water splashing.

• Do not place the faceplate (and the faceplate case)

in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or
humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or
the possibility of water splashing.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals

of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.

• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it

is a piece of precision equipment.

• When replacing a fuse, only use a new fuse with

the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws

provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could
damage the unit.

Do Not Load 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the CD slot

If you try to load a 8 cm (3 in.) CD with its adapter into
the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and
damage the unit.

Lens Fogging

When you turn on the car heater in cold weather,
dew or condensation may form on the lens in the
CD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, this
condensation on the lens may not allow CDs to play.
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait for the
condensation to evaporate. If the unit still does not
operate normally after a while, consult your Kenwood
dealer.
