!WARNING
• The unit can only be installed in a car with
a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
• If you connect the ignition wire (red)
and the battery wire (yellow) to the car
chassis (ground), you may cause a short
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always
connect those wires to the power source
running through the fuse box.
• Disconnect the battery’s negative
terminal and make all electrical
connections before installing the unit.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl
tape or other similar material. To prevent
a short circuit, do not remove the caps on
the ends of the unconnected wires or the
terminals.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s
chassis again after mounting.
• If the power is not turned ON (“PROTECT”
is displayed), the speaker wire may have
a short-circuit or touched the chassis of
the vehicle and the protection function
may have been activated. Therefore, the
speaker wire should be checked.
!CAUTION
• If your car’s ignition key switch does
not have an ACC position, connect the
ignition wires to a power source that can
be turned on and off with the ignition
key. If you connect the ignition wires to
a constant-voltage power source, as with
battery wires, the battery may die.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the
screws provided.
• Install this unit in the console of your
vehicle. Make sure the faceplate will not
hit the lid of the console (if any) when
closing and opening.
• After the installing the unit, check
whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers,
etc. on the car are working properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting
angle is 30° or less.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires
are not touching other parts to cause a
short circuit, and then replace the old
fuse with one with new one with the
same rating.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to
the corresponding terminals. The unit
may be damaged or fail to work if you
share the ¤ wires or ground them to any
metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being
connected to the system, connect the
connectors either to both the front
output terminals or to both the rear
output terminals (do not mix front and
rear).
• Mounting and wiring this product
requires skills and experience. For safety’s
sake, leave this work to professionals.
If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Reception may become poor if there are
metal objects near the Bluetooth antenna.

For Good Reception
To assure good reception, note the
following:
• Communicate with the cell-phone within
the line-of-sight distance of 10 m (30
ft). The communication range becomes
shorter depending on the surrounding
environment. The communication
range also becomes shorter when there
is an obstacle between this unit and
the cell-phone. The above maximum
communication range (10 m) is not
always assured.
• A broadcast station or walkie-talkie
located nearby can interfere with
communication due to a too strong
signal.
