Use This Equipment Safely

When Driving

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic conditions.

When Washing Vehicle

Do not expose the equipment, including the speakers and CDs, to water or excessive moisture. This could cause electrical shorts, fire, or other damage.

When Parked

Parking in direct sunlight can produce very high temperatures inside your vehicle. Give the interior a chance to cool down before switching the unit on.

Use the Proper Power Supply

This equipment is designed to operate off a 12 volt, negative ground battery system (the normal system in a North American vehicle.)

Use Authorized Service Centers

Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust this precision equipment. Please refer to the Servicenter list included with this product for service assistance.

Protect the Compact Disc Mechanism

Avoid inserting any foreign matters to the slot of the compact disc.

Failure to observe this may cause malfunction due to sensitive mechanism of this unit.
