How to use the MODE button

If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions mode, then the number buttons and 5/∞ buttons work as different function buttons.

Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.

Time countdown indicator

To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds

without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared.

• Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.

BEFORE USE

*For safety....

•Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

•Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

*Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.
