2WARNING

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.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following precautions:

•Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.

•Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.

•Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

•Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.

•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.

•Do not place any object between the faceplate and the unit.

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

•Do not apply excessive force to the moving faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or malfunction.

•Do not apply excessive force to the open faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will cause damage or breakdown.

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".

When you connect a model with no "O-N" switch, the converter cord CA-DS100 available as an option may be required. For details, consult your Kenwood dealer.

If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected, some unavailable functions and information that cannot be displayed are generated, such as the DNPS, DNPP, Magazine random play, and CD Text display. Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers can be connected.

2CAUTION

You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you connect them incorrectly.

Do Not Load 3-in. CDs in the CD slot

If you try to load a 3 in. CD with its adapter into the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and damage the unit.
