Safety precautions

2WARNING

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 automotivegrade cables or other cables with an area of

0.75mm

2 (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.

• 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.

2CAUTION

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 set the removed faceplate or the faceplate case in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.

• 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You cannot connect the unit directly to the following CD automatic changers. For users who want to use older changers with the unit, follow the directions below according to the type of changer you own:

• KDC-C200 / KDC-C300 / KDC-C400

Use the extension cable and the control box attached to the CD changer, and the optional

CA-DS100 converter cable.

• KDC-C301 / KDC-C600 / KDC-C800 / KDC-

C601 / KDC-C401

• Characters in the LCD may become difficult to read in temperatures below 41 ˚F (5 ˚C).

• The illustrations of the display and the panel appearing in this manual are examples used to explain more clearly how the controls are used. Therefore, what appears on the 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.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Unit

If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.

If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.

2CAUTION

Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erases characters.

Cleaning the Tape Head

After you have used the tape player many times over a long period, magnetic powder from the tapes and dust accumulates on the tape head, causing noise and a deterioration in sound quality. Clean the tape head using a cleaning tape or cleaning kit designed for use in car audio systems.

Handling Cassette Tapes

• Do not play a cassette whose tape has gone slack. In such a case, wind it tight using a pencil or the like in one of the spools. Playing slack cassette tapes can result in the tape tangling around the capstan and/or pinch rollers, causing trouble.

• Do not play a deformed cassette or one whose label is starting to come off, as it can cause the unit to malfunction.

• Do not leave tapes in hot places, such as above the fascia panel (dashboard) and other spots exposed to direct sunlight, or near heater outlets. They can deform the cassette.

• Avoid using extremely long cassette tapes, such as 100-minute-long tapes. Such tapes are very thin, and can tangle easily around the pinch rollers or other parts inside the unit, causing unit failure.

• Remove a cassette tape from the unit when not listening to it for a whilst. If you leave a tape in the unit too long, it may stick to the tape head and cause unit malfunction.

RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as network information being transmitted from radio stations.

When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS capability), the programme service name of the station is displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which station is being received.

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data for the same station. When you are making long trips, this function automatically switches to the particular frequency with the best reception for the particular network of stations that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored, allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.

These include stations stored in the station preset memory that you often listen to.

PTY indicator TI indicator

Enhanced Other Network

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit information about other RDS stations that have traffic information. When you are tuned to a station that is not transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the warning to be received.

If you are listening to a tape or disc when a traffic bulletin begins, they will automatically be turned off. When the bulletin ends or poor reception is experienced, the tape or disc will begin playing again.

NOTE

Pressing the TI button whilst in the MW/LW band automatically switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.

Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:
