WARNING

Stop the car before operating the unit.

Important to know...

To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave 
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal 
tools) inside the unit.

Caution:

 Adjust the volume so that you can 

hear the sound outside the car. Driving with 
the volume adjusted to a too high level may 
cause an accident.

Condensation:

 When the car is air-

conditioned, moisture may collect on the 
laser lens. This may cause disc read errors. In 
this case, remove the disc and wait for the 
moisture to evaporate.

The illustrations in this manual are examples 
used to explain more clearly how the 
controls are used. Therefore, what appears 
on the illustrations may differ from what 
appears on the actual equipment.

If you experience problems during 
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

When you purchase external components, 
check with your Kenwood dealer to make 
sure that they work with your model and in 
your area.

Maintenance

Cleaning the unit:

 Wipe off the dirt on the 

panel with a dry silicon or soft cloth. Failure 
to observe this precaution may result in 
damage to the monitor or unit.

Cleaning the connector:

 The unit may not 

function properly if the connector between 
the unit and faceplate are dirty. Detach the 
faceplate and clean the connector with a 
cotton swab gently, being careful not to 
damage the connector.
