Basic operations (See page 6)

Stealth Retraction Mechanism

You can help prevent theft of the unit by reversing the faceplate so that the control panel cannot be seen, hiding the unit, and shutting off the audio.

Power ON/OFF:

When you turn your vehicle’s ignition on, the unit’s power will also turn on, with the faceplate reversing to show the control panel.

When you turn your vehicle’s ignition off, the faceplate will reverse to hide the control panel, and the unit’s power will turn off.

NOTE

•When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the action.

•The status of the Code Security Function (P.30) is displayed whenever the power is switched on.

"CODE ON" (Code Security has been registered) "CODE OFF" (Code Security has not been registered)

Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles

•Make sure the console is uncovered whilst the faceplate is reversed.

•Do not exert any excess force on the movable parts of the unit, including the faceplate, as it can cause failure in the unit’s mechanism.

Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing): Hold down the SRC button for one second or more.

The faceplate will reverse, hiding the unit. The unit will turn off.

NOTE

•When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object and press the SRC button to turn the unit back on, then turn it off again to make it close properly.

•Whilst the control panel is moving, pressing the buttons will not have any effect. Do not try to press the buttons on the control panel as the faceplate is moving, as excessive force may damage the unit.

•During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left closed whilst ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off, unless “the touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate is pressed in order to open it. You can prevent tampering of the unit when letting someone else drive your car by keeping it closed this way.

To cancel the stealth retraction mechanism’s forced closing of unit and open control panel:

Press “the touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate. (as illustrated)

Touch-sensitive spot

NOTE Touch-sensitive spot

The invisible switch is hiding behind the touch-sensitive spot. Press the hollow spot (invisible switch) to open.
