Before use
2WARNING
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave

How to reset your unit
If the unit fails to
operate properly,
press the Reset
button. The unit
returns to factory
settings when the
Reset button is
pressed.
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.
Notes
· If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
· When you purchase optional accessories,
check with your Kenwood dealer to make
sure that they work with your model and
in your area.
· Characters that conform to ISO 8859-1
can be displayed.
· The illustrations of the display and the
panel appearing in this manual are
examples used to explain more clearly
how the controls are used. Therefore,
what appears on the display in the
illustrations may differ from what appears
on the display on the actual equipment,
and some of the illustrations on the
