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.

· 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 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

unit, follow the directions below according to

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 /

non-Kenwood CD changers

Cannot be used with this model.

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

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.

· Characters in the LCD may become difficult

to read in temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

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.

2CAUTION

NOTE

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.
