following precautions:
· Insert the unit all the way until it is fully
locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of
place during collisions and other jolts.
· When extending the ignition, battery or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with an area of
0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire
coating.

any metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.

smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.

between the faceplate and the unit.
· Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it

· Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the
LCD is damaged or broken due to shock. The
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your
health or even fatal.
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off
with soap immediately.

In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
