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 0.75mm2 (AWG18) 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.
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.
2WARNING
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 subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision
equipment.
· 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.
· Do not apply excessive force to the moving
faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or
malfunction.
· Do not apply excessive force to the open
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so
will cause damage or breakdown.
2CAUTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
About the disc changer to be
connected:
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to
"N".
When you connect a model with no "O-N"
switch, the converter cord CA-DS100
available as an option may be required. For
details, consult your Kenwood dealer.
If a model with no "O-N" switch is
connected, some unavailable functions and
information that cannot be displayed are
generated, such as the DNPS, DNPP,
Magazine random play, and CD Text display.
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers
can be connected.
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
Do Not Load 3-in. CDs in the CD slot
If you try to load a 3 in. CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate
from the CD and damage the unit.

panel appearing in this manual are
examples used to explain more clearly how
the controls are used. Therefore, what
appears on the display in the illustrations
may differ from what appears on the
display on the actual equipment, and some
of the illustrations on the display may
represent something impossible in actual
operation.
· The functions that can be used and the

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals
If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Unit
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the
stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.
Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch
the surface or erases characters.
2CAUTION
Cleaning the CD Slot
As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,
clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can
get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD
slot.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play.
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a while,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
