PRECAUTIONS

· Use only in a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical

system.

· Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal

while mounting and connecting the unit.

· When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one with an

identical amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher

amperage rating may cause serious damage to the

unit.

· Do NOT attempt to disassemble the unit. Laser beams

from the optical pickup are dangerous to the eyes.

· Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do not get

inside the unit; they may cause malfunctions, or create

safety hazards such as electrical shock or laser beam

exposure.

· When your vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in the temperature

inside, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

· Keep the volume at a level at which you can hear

outside warning sounds (horns, sirens, etc.).
