DC negative-ground electrical system only.
•To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the
negative car battery terminal until the unit has
been mounted and connected completely.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse of higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
• Keep screwdrivers, etc. and other metallic or
magnetic objects away from the playback head.
• When your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before

• When the infrared receptor on the main unit is
exposed to direct sunlight, it may not respond to
signals from the remote control unit.
• While driving,keep your eyes onthe road asyou
operatetheremotecontrolunit. NEVERoperate
the remote control unit while turning.
• Do NOT install the remote control unit where it

may interfere with operation of the vehicle.
• Do NOT install the remote control unit where it
will obstruct your view of the instrument panel.
• Be sure to install the remote control unit on the
side of the steering wheel closer to the main
unit. If you install the remote control unit on the
opposite side from the main unit, the infrared
signal may not reach the main unit’s receptor,
disabling remote operation.
• There may be cases in which the infrared signal
does not reach the infrared receptor on the main
unit, depending on the installation location.
• Do NOT install the remote control unit on the
outer rim of the steering wheel. Doing so may
hinder steering and cause a traffic accident. Be
