How to reset your unit  
After detaching the control panel, press the  
reset button on the panel holder using a ball-  
point pen or a similar tool.  
This will reset the built-in microcomputer.  
Note:  
Your preset adjustments — such as preset channels or  
sound adjustments — will also be erased.  
How to use the MODE button:  
If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions mode and the number buttons work as different  
function buttons.  
To use these buttons as number buttons again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds without  
pressing any number button until the functions mode is cleared.  
• Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.  
BEFORE USE  
*For safety....  
*Temperature inside the car....  
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or  
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car  
becomes normal before operating the unit.  
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will  
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.  
• Stop the car before performing any complicated  
operations.
