Safety precautions
Lens Fogging
2WARNING
When you turn on the car heater in cold weather,
dew or condensation may form on the lens in the
CD player of the unit. Called lens fogging, this
condensation on the lens may not allow CDs 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 while, consult
your Kenwood dealer.
To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools)
inside the unit.
• Mounting and wiring this product requires
skills and experience. For safety’s sake, leave the
mounting and wiring work to professionals.
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 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 place the faceplate (and 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 fuse with
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could
damage the unit.
Do Not Load 8 cm (3 in.) CDs in the CD

2WARNING
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
•
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit
or touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protection
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker
wire should be checked.
•
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and
opening.
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with
one with the same rating.
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the
terminals.
•
•
•
•
•
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any
metal part in the car.
When only two speakers are being connected to the
system, connect the connectors either to both the front
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear
output terminal.
