How to reset your unit
After detaching the control panel, press the reset
button on the panel holder using a ball-point pen
or similar tool.
This will reset the built-in microcomputer.
Note:
Your preset adjustments ­ such as preset channels or
sound adjustments ­ will also be erased.
BEFORE USE
*For safety....
· Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
· Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
*Temperature inside the car....
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car
becomes normal before operating the unit.
