2CAUTION

•If your car is not prepared for this special connection-system, consult your Kenwood dealer.

•Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the antenna cord has an ISO plug.

•Make sure that all cable connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock completely.

•If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the ignition cable is connected to a power source with constant voltage such as a battery cable, the power will not be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit's power with the ignition, connect the ignition cable to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.

•If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.

•Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected cables or the terminals.

•Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if you share the - cables and/or ground them to any metal part in the car.

•After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

•Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar material.

•Some disc changers need conversion cables for connection. See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.

•If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening.
