To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
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 cables, make sure to use
automotive-grade cables or other cables
with an area of 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more
to prevent cable deterioration and damage
to the cable coating.
· To prevent short circuits, never put or leave
any metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
· If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange
smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
· Make sure not to get your fingers caught
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
contains glass parts.
2WARNING
To prevent damage to the machine,
take the following precautions:
· Make sure to ground the unit to a negative
12V DC power supply.
· Do not open the top or bottom covers of the
unit.
· Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive heat or
humidity. Also avoid places with too much
dust or the possibility of water splashing.
· Do not subject the faceplate to excessive
shock, as it is a piece of precision
equipment.
· When replacing a fuse, only use a new one
with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with
the wrong rating may cause your unit to
malfunction.
· To prevent short circuits when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
· Do not place any object between the
faceplate and the unit.
· During installation, do not use any screws
except for the ones provided. The use of
improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.
· Do not apply excessive force to the moving
faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or
malfunction.
· Do not apply excessive force to the open
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so
will cause damage or breakdown.
2CAUTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
About the disc changer to be
connected:
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to
"N".
When you connect a model with no "O-N"
switch, the converter cord CA-DS100
available as an option may be required. For
details, consult your Kenwood dealer.
If a model with no "O-N" switch is
connected, some unavailable functions and
information that cannot be displayed are
generated, such as the DNPS, DNPP,
Magazine random play, and CD Text display.
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers
can be connected.
You can damage both your unit and
the CD changer if you connect them
incorrectly.
Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the
CD slot
If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter
into the unit, the adapter might separate
from the CD and damage the unit.

display in the illustrations may differ from
what appears on the display on the actual
equipment, and some of the illustrations on
the display may represent something
impossible in actual operation.
· The functions that can be used and the
information that can be displayed will differ
depending on the external disc players
being connected.
Safety precautions
Mask key
If you have transmitted the Mask Key's
signal once to the unit in advance, you will
have to transmit it once again if the unit has
been removed from the battery. This
function helps prevent theft.
When using the unit for the first time:
In order to deactivate the demonstration
mode, be sure to press the transmit button
to transmit the Mask Key's signal.
If this procedure is not carried out, the
control panel of the unit will re-open in two
seconds even with your vehicle's ignition
turned off.
Do not loose the "Mask Key".
If power is disconnected from the unit,
correct operation can only be restored by the
"Mask Key's" signal.
The "Mask Key" will also be required for
service repair.
If you send products in for repair that include
a mask key, make sure to present the unit
together with the mask key.
