To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:
· Insert the unit all the way until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of
place during collisions and other jolts.
· When extending the ignition, battery or
ground cables, make sure to use automotive-
grade cables or other cables with an area of
0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent cable
deterioration and damage to the cable
coating.
· To prevent short circuits, never put or leave
any metallic objects (e.g., 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 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.
· To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
· 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 short circuits when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
· Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
· During installation, do not use any screws
except for the ones provided. The use of
improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.
2CAUTION

dealer.
· Characters in the LCD may become difficult
to read in temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).
· The illustrations of the display and the 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
information that can be displayed will differ

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 front panel gets dirty, turn off the
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon
cloth or soft cloth.
Do not wipe the panel with a stiff 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.
2CAUTION
Safety precautions
Cleaning the Tape Head
After you have used the tape player many
times over a long period, 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 for 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
above the fascia panel (dashboard) 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-minute-long 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 whilst. If you leave a
tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the
tape head and cause unit malfunction.
