properly, press
the Reset button.
The unit returns to
factory settings when the Reset button is

Cleaning the Unit
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a clean soft dry cloth such as a silicon
cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the
stain off with a cloth moistened with a
neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a
clean soft dry cloth.
Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping
the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a
volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol
may scratch the surface or erase characters.
Unit and Faceplate Terminals
· To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit and faceplate with
your fingers.
· If the terminals on the unit or faceplate
get dirty, wipe them with a clean soft
dry cloth.
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.
