Safety precautions
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
* Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
* When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm?
(AWG 18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
* To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
* If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
« Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
* Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it
contains glass parts.
« Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD
is damaged or broken due to shock. The
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your
health or even fatal.
lf the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.
ACAUTION
To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
« Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.
« Do not open the top or bottom covers of the
unit.
* Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.
Also avoid places with too much dust or the
possibility of water splashing.
* Do not set the removed faceplate or the
faceplate case in areas exposed to direct
sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity. Also
avoid places with too much dust or the
possibility of water splashing.
* Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.
* To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
* When replacing a fuse, only use a new one
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.
¢ To prevent a short circuit when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
* Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
* Do not use your own screws. Use only the
screws provided. If you use the wrong
screws, you could damage the unit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You cannot connect the unit directly to the
following CD automatic changers: If you want
to use older changers with the unit, follow
the directions below according to the type of
changer you own:
¢ KDC-€200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400
Use the extension cable and the control box
attached to the CD changer, and the optional
CA-DS100 converter cord.
© KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-C601 /

dealer.
Reset button
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
* If the unit doesn't seem to be working right,
try pressing the reset button first. If that does
not fix the problem, consult your Kenwood
Cleaning the Unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon
cloth or soft cloth.
ACAUTION
Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a
cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as
paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch
the surface of the panel and/or cause the
indicator letters to peel off.
Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Tape Head
After you have listened to many cassettes
over a long period of time, magnetic powder
from the tapes and dust accumulates on the
tape head, causing noise and a deterioration
in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a
cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed bo use
in car audio systems.
Handling Cassette Tapes
* Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone
slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a
pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing
slack cassette tapes can result in the tape
tangling around the capstan and/or pinch
rollers, causing trouble. °
* Do not play a deformed cassette or one
whose label is starting to come off, as it can
cause the unit to malfunction.
* Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as on
dashboards and other spots exposed to
direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They
can deform the cassette.
* Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes,
such as 100-minutetong tapes. Such tapes
are very thin, and.can tangle easily around
the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit,
causing unit failure.
» Remove a cassette tape from the unit when
not listening to it for a while. If you leave a
' tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the
tape head and cause unit malfunction.
