To prevent injury or fire, take the

following precautions:

•Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of
place when jolted.
•When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm2
(AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
•To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as 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.
