instruction manual. The user could lose the authority

to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change

or modification is made.

Note

This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment may cause harmful interference to radio

communications if it is not installed and used in accor-

dance with these instructions. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one of more of the following measures:

· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

· Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver

· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is

connected

· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help

Cleaning the unit

If the unit becomes dirty, turn its power off and wipe

it clean with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or

other volatile solvents to clean the unit. These may

cause damage or remove indicator characters.

Warning

Do not operate the unit in a way that might divert your

attention from driving safely. As a driver, you alone

are responsible for safely operating your vehicle in

accordance with traffic safety laws at all times.

Warning

Take the following precautions to prevent fire and

avoid personal injury:

· To avoid short circuits, never put or leave any

metallic objects (coins, tools, etc.) inside the unit.

· If the unit emits smoke or strange smells, turn the power

off immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer.

· Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks.

· If the LCD display becomes damaged or broken,

do not touch the liquid crystal fluid. The fluid may

be dangerous to your health or even fatal. If the

liquid crystal fluid contacts your body or clothing,

immediately wash it off with soap and water.

Caution

Take the following precautions to keep the unit in

proper working order:

· Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC power

supply with a negative ground connection.

· Do not open the unit.

· Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to

high levels of humidity, moisture, or dust.

· When replacing a fuse, use only a new one with

the proper rating. Using a fuse with the wrong

rating may cause the unit to malfunction.

· To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse,

first disconnect the wiring harness.

· When drilling holes to mount the unit, make sure

not to damage wiring or other systems on the

other side.

Note

If the unit doesn't seem to be working properly:

· Turn the unit's power off, wait 5 10 seconds,

then turn the power on again.

· If the unit still mis-operates, turn the unit's power

off, remove it from the cradle, wait 5 10 seconds,

replace it in the cradle and turn the power back on.

If the problem persists, consult your Kenwood dealer.

FCC Warning

This equipment may generate or use radio

frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this

equipment may cause harmful interference unless

the modifications are expressly approved in this

Here2Anywhere Instruction Manual (ver. 2)

Installation in a vehicle (continued)

Installation in a vehicle with the KPA-H2C kit (available separately)

Note: Do not put Here2Anywhere in the docking station until you have completed the installation.

2. You can bend the leaves on the base to

conform to curved mounting surfaces.

3. Peel the covering away from the adhesive on

the bottom of the base and adhere it to the

mounting surface. Use the provided screws

to securely attach the base to the surface.

· If using screws, be sure that you do not

damage wiring or other systems on the

other side of the mounting surface.

1. Determine where you want to mount

Here2Anywhere.

· Do not install Here2Anywhere where

it may obstruct your view through

the windshield or your view of your

vehicle's indicator displays.

· Do not install Here2Anywhere where

it will hinder your access to the

vehicle's controls.

· Do not install Here2Anywhere where

it may hinder the function of safety

devices such as an airbag. Doing so

may prevent the air-bag from

functioning properly in the event of

an accident.

· Find a location that provides good

visibility of and access to

Here2Anywhere's front panel.

· Kenwood strongly recommends that

you mount Here2Anywhere in a

location where the base can be

attached with the provided screws.

5A. Plug the cassette adapter into the back of the cradle, as shown on the left.

5B. If your car stereo has an aux input, plug the supplied audio cable (instead of the

cassette adapter) into the back of the cradle, as shown on the right. Plug the audio

cable's white (L ch,) and red (R ch.) connectors into your car stereo.

4. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter

into the back of the cradle, as shown.

Don't plug the adapter into the

cigarette lighter until the installation

is completed (see pg. 10, Step 10).

6. Temporarily plug the antenna into

the "1-Sat/Terr (Main)" connector on

the back of the cradle until it is firmly

seated, as shown.

2. Before permanently mounting the antenna and routing the

cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location:

a. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the

cigarette lighter.

b. Slide Here2Anywhere all the way into the cradle so that the

connector at the rear of the unit makes proper contact in the

cradle. Press the POWER button to turn Here2Anywhere on.

c. If your Here2Anywhere has been properly connected and the

antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal (preview stream

#184) you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio, the

display will read "Acquiring Signal". Re-orient the antenna

until you hear audio. (See

Antenna Signal, on page 33 to use

the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)

· Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the

satellite signal could be blocked

3. Turn Here2Anywhere's power off and remove it from the

cradle; unplug the cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette

lighter; unplug the antenna from the cradle.

4. Remove the yellow protective backing from the adhesive strip

and firmly adhere it to the underside of the antenna tail. (Do

not remove the red protective backing at this time.)

5. Once the strip is adhered to the tail, remove the red protective

backing from the adhesive and firmly adhere the tail to the

vehicle.

· At room temperature, maximum adhesion usually occurs

within 72 hours. During this period, car washes and other

contact with the antenna and tail should be avoided.

6. Route the exposed portion of the antenna cable from the end

of the tail to the vehicle's interior by tucking it underneath the

rubber molding around the vehicle's rear window, as shown

below.

Here2Anywhere Instruction Manual (ver. 2)

Note: If you're using the Kenwood CX-SR10 SIRIUS antenna, you'll need to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectors

before connecting it to the cradle--we recommend labeling the wires with their respective colors. (See pg. 9, figure 16 of the CX-SR10

Installation Manual for details). Once you've removed the housings, connect the wire that had the yellow connector to the connector

on the cradle labeled "1-Sat/Terr (Main)", and connect the other one to the connector labeled "2-Terr".

Mounting the included

antenna

1. Find an antenna location on a metal

surface at least 12" x 12". The antenna

should be mounted exactly 5.5" (the length

of the antenna's tail) away from the vehicle's

rear window, so that only the portion of the

cable protected by the tail is exposed, as

shown to the right. The antenna's 3 powerful

magnets will secure it to the metal surface.

· Do not shorten the antenna's tail. Doing

so could damage the cable, since its

insulation is integrated with the tail.

· Best reception is achieved with the anten-

na mounted on the roof; mounting on the

trunk lid will work for convertibles. If the

vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may

be necessary to mount the antenna off-

center.
