Safety Precautions

2WARNING

Take the following precautions to prevent fire and avoid personal injury:

•When extending the ignition wire, battery wire, or ground wire, use 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or larger automotive grade wire to avoid wire deterioration or damage to the covering.

•Check that no metal objects (coins, tools, etc.) are left inside the unit to avoid short circuits.

•If you smell or see smoke, turn the power off immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.

•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.

2CAUTION

Take the following precautions to keep the unit in proper working order.

•Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC power supply with a negative ground connection.

•Do not open the top or bottom cover.

•Do not install the unit in places it is exposed to direct sunlight, high heat or humidity, water may splash over it, or dust exists.

•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.

NOTE

•If you have difficulty in installing this unit in your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.

•If it doesn’t seem to be working properly, first press the Reset button. If the malfunction persists, consult your Kenwood dealer.

•Some car stereos cause the sound of the tuner to make for a moment when an engine is activated.

•The reception of the tuner may be reduced a little if the KCA-R70FM is used.

•If the sound is lower than the tuner sound, raise up the volume level of the CD/MD with using the receiver.

•Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

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". 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.

Precautions when connecting disc changers released in 1997 or earlier.

The optional switching adapter KCA-S210A is necessary to connect a disc changer that is not equipped with the "O-N" switch except KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205 and C705.

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.

2CAUTION

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents. These may damage external surfaces or remove indicator characters.
