Safety Instructions

WARNING

To prevent fire and injury, please observe the following:

• Ensure no metal objects (coins, needles, tools, etc.) enter the unit to prevent short circuits.

CAUTION

Please observe the following precautions for proper operation:

• Operate the unit exclusively with 12-volt DC power and a negative ground connection.
• Protect the unit from direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, splashing water, and dust.
• Protect the detachable front panel and its case from direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, splashing water, and dust.
• The detachable control unit is a precision instrument containing sensitive electronic components. Handle with extreme care.
• Do not touch the metal contacts on the detachable front panel or the radio chassis.
• When replacing a fuse, ensure the replacement fuse has the same rating as the original. Using a fuse with an incorrect rating can cause malfunctions or damage the unit.
• Use only the supplied screws for installation. Screws that are too long or too thick can damage the unit.

About Connected CD Players/Disc Changers:

KENWOOD Disc Changers/CD Players released in 1998 or later can be connected to this unit. Consult the catalog or your KENWOOD dealer for information on compatible Disc Changers/CD Players. KENWOOD Disc Changers/CD Players released in 1997 or earlier, and Disc Changers from other manufacturers, cannot be connected. Unsupported connections may lead to damage. For applicable KENWOOD Disc Changers/CD Players, set the ON-OFF switch to the "N" position. Usable functions and displayable information may vary depending on the connected model. Incorrect connection of the car radio and CD changer may cause malfunctions or defects.

Laser Lens Fogging:

In cold weather, the CD player's laser lens may fog up after the car heater is turned on. In this case, a CD cannot be played. Remove the CD from the unit and wait for the fog to clear. If the CD player does not function correctly after 1-2 hours, contact your KENWOOD dealer.

Note on Battery Disposal:

Used batteries must not be disposed of with household waste according to battery regulations. KENWOOD participates in the "Common Battery Return System" (GRS Batteries). Dispose of used batteries free of charge in the collection containers provided by retailers. You can also find collection containers for used batteries at your dealer. Batteries permanently installed in devices are also subject to these legal regulations.
