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
0.75mm
2(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
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".
To connect a disc changer having no "O-N"
switch to this unit, the converter cord CA-
DS100 and/or switching adapter KCA-S210A
are required as options.
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.
