Read and follow instructions
Read all safety and operating instructions before
operating your car deck.
Follow all operating and use instructions.
Retain instructions
Keep the safety and operating instructions for future
reference.
Heed warnings
Follow all warnings on your car deck and in the operating
instructions.
Accessories
Use only attachments and accessories specified.
Vents and radiator panels
Do not block vents or radiator panels. Blocking will cause
heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
Object and liquid entry
Do not push objects through any openings in your car
deck because they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in fire or electric
shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into your car

removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer servicing to qualified service

• When the wiring is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen,
into your car deck.
• If your car deck has been exposed to rain or
water.
• If your car deck does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions because an incorrect adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore your car deck to its normal
operation.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that
the service technician uses replacement parts specified
by Insignia or those that have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to your car
deck, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that your shelf system is in correct
operating condition.
Disc slot
Keep your fingers clear of the disc slot while it is closing.
You may injure yourself.
