WARNING
Stop the car before operating the unit.
Important to know...
■ To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
■ Caution: Adjust the volume so that you can
hear sounds outside the car. Driving with
the volume too high may cause an accident.
■ Condensation: When the car is air-
conditioned, moisture may collect on the
laser lens. This may cause disc read errors. In
this case, remove the disc and wait for the
moisture to evaporate.
■ The illustrations in this manual are examples
used to explain more clearly how the
controls are used. Therefore, what appears
on the illustrations may differ from what
appears on the actual equipment.
■ If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
■ When you purchase external components,
check with your Kenwood dealer to make
sure that they work with your model and in
your area.
Maintenance
Cleaning the unit: Wipe off the dirt on the
panel with a dry silicon or soft cloth. Failure
to observe this precaution may result in
damage to the monitor or unit.
Cleaning the connector: Wipe off dirt on
the connector of the unit and faceplate. Use
a cotton swab or cloth.
