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

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.).
