To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:
· Insert the unit all the way until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of
place during collisions and other jolts.
· When extending the ignition, battery or
ground cables, make sure to use automotive-
grade cables or other cables with an area of
0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent cable
deterioration and damage to the cable
coating.
· To prevent short circuits, never put or leave
any metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
· If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
· Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
· Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it
contains glass parts.
· Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD
is damaged or broken due to shock. The
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your
health or even fatal.
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.
2WARNING
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 open the top or bottom covers of the
unit.
· 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 set the removed faceplate or 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.
· Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.
· To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
· When replacing a fuse, only use a new one
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.
· To prevent short circuits when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
· Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
· During installation, do not use any screws
except for the ones provided. The use of
improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.
2CAUTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers. For users
who want to use older changers with the

the type of changer you own:
· KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400
Use the extension cable and the control box
attached to the CD changer, and the optional
CA-DS100 converter cable.
· KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-C601 /
KDC-C401
Use the extension cable attached to the CD
changer, and the optional CA-DS100
converter cable.
· KDC-C100 / KDC-C302 / C205 / C705 /

Safety precautions
· If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
· If the unit does not seem to be working right,
try pressing the reset button first. If that does
not solve the problem, consult your Kenwood
dealer.
Cleaning the Unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon
cloth or soft cloth.
Do not wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a
cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch
the surface of the panel and/or cause the
indicator letters to peel off.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Handling Mini discs
· The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot
be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will
be damaged and use of the MD will no
longer be possible. If the shutter has been
opened due to some cause, be careful not to
touch the recording portion with a finger.
Doing so will cause the sound to skip.
· Do not use an MD that has a peeling label.
Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling
label may cause problems, such as the label
coming off inside the player and the resultant
inability to eject the MD.
· Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge
surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an
oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in
the disc not loading or being unable to eject
it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to open
the shutter.)
· Do not leave the MD in the unit for a
prolonged period. The ejected MD should be
placed in an MD case for storage.
· Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to
direct sunlight (such as on a instrument
panel) or in other places that reach high
temperatures. The MD cartridge will become
misshapen and will no longer be usable.
· MDs designed for use with data cannot be
used. Please use MDs designed for music.
· Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead
to breakdown.
Lens Fogging
In cold climates, there may be a period after
you turn on your vehicle's heater when the
lens that guides the laser beam used in your
MD player fogs up. If this happens, you
cannot play mini discs. Take out discs and
the fogging will disappear. If it does not
return to normal after several hours, contact
your Kenwood dealer.
The marking of products using lasers
(Except for some areas)
The label is attached to the chassis/case and
says that the component uses laser beams
that have been classified as Class 1. It means
that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are
of a weaker class. There is no danger of
hazardous radiation outside the unit.
