hazardous radiation exposure.
In compliance with Federal Regulations, following are
reproductions of labels on, or inside the product relating to
laser product safety.
Location : Bottom Panel
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 the instruction manual. The user
could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an
unauthorized change or modification is made.
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 accordance with the 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 or
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.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-
003.
To prevent injury and/or fire, take the following
precautions:
· Ensure that the unit is securely installed. 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
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.
· 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.
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 use any screws except for the ones provided.
The use of improper screws might result in damage to
the main unit.
· You cannot view video pictures whilst the vehicle is
moving. To enjoy TV/video pictures, find a safe place to
park and engage the parking brake.
· If you experience problems during installation, consult
your Kenwood dealer.
· If the unit does not seem to be working right, try
pressing the reset button first. If that does not solve the
problem, consult your Kenwood dealer.

winter, the liquid crystal panel's screen will become
darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after
using the monitor for a whilst.

it as illustrated.
2. Insert the batteries with the
ª and · poles aligned
properly following the illustration inside the
case.
Store unused batteries out of the reach of children.
Contact a doctor immediately if the battery is accidentally
swallowed.
· The provided batteries are intended for use in operation
checking, and their service life may be short.
· When the remote controllable distance becomes short,
replace both of the batteries with new ones.

Cleaning the disc slot
As dust can accumulate in the disc slot, clean it
occasionally. Your discs can get scratched if you put them in
a dusty disc slot.
Lens Fogging
Right after you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew
or condensation may form on the lens in the disc player of
the unit. Called lens fogging, discs may be impossible to
play. In such a situation, remove the disc and wait for the
condensation to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate
normally after a whilst, consult your Kenwood dealer.
Playing a disc that is dirty, scratched or warped
can cause the sound to skip and the unit to
operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound
quality. Take the following precautions to prevent
your discs from getting scratched or damaged.
Handling discs
· The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW is more fragile
than that on an ordinary music CD, and may peel off if
scratched. Fingerprints on a CD-R or CD-RW are also
more likely to cause skipping when the disc is played.
For these reasons, handle the disc very carefully.
· Detailed handling instructions will appear on the CD-R or
CD-RW package: read this information carefully before
using the disc.
· Do not stick tape on either side of the disc.
Storing discs
· Do not store discs in areas exposed to direct sunlight
(such as a car seat or the dashboard) or other hot places.
A CD-R or CD-RW is more susceptible than a music CD
to damage from high temperatures and humidity, and in
some cases, may become unusable if left in the car for
long periods of time.
· Remove discs from the unit when not listening to them
for a while, and put them back in their cases. Do not pile
up discs that are removed from their cases or prop them
against something.
Cleaning discs
If a disc has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a
commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth,
starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean discs with conventional record cleaners, anti-
static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or
benzene.
Checking New discs for Burrs
When playing a new disc for the first time, check that there
are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the
central hole. discs with burrs stuck on them may not load
properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a
ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can
be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective
sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit
to malfunction.
Removing the disc
Only remove the disc from the machine in a horizontal
direction. You may damage the surface of the disc if you try
pulling it down as it ejects.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
· Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this unit and do
not use any special shape CDs. Use of special shape
CDs may cause the unit to malfunction.
· CD-Rs and CD-RWs which have not undergone
finalization processing cannot be played. (For more
information on finalization processing, refer to the
manual for your CD-R/CD-RW writing software or CD-
R/CD-RW recorder.) Additionally, depending on the
recording status, it may prove impossible to play certain
CDs recorded on CD-R or CD-RW.
Do Not Use discs with Sticker on the Labelled
Side
Do not use the disc with the label sticker stuck on it.
Using such a disc may cause the disc to be deformed and
the sticker to peel off, resulting in malfunction of the unit.
