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 automotive-grade cables or other cables 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. · 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 About the disc changer to be connected: To connect a disc changer having the "O-N" switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N". To connect a disc changer having no "O-N" switch to this unit, the converter cord CADS100 and/or switching adapter KCA-S210A are required as options. If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected, some unavailable functions and information that cannot be displayed are generated, such as the DNPS, DNPP, Magazine random play, and CD Text display. Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers can be connected. 2CAUTION You can damage both your unit and the CD changer if you connect them incorrectly. 2CAUTION Do Not Load 8-cm (3-in.) CDs in the CD slot If you try to load an 8-cm CD with its adapter into the unit, the adapter might separate from the CD and damage the unit. --3-- Safety precautions English NOTE · 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. Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Cleaning the CD Slot As dust can accumulate in the CD slot, clean it occasionally. Your CDs can get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD slot. 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. Reset button · 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. Lens Fogging Right after 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, CDs 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. The marking of products using lasers (Except for some areas) CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT The label is attached to the chassis/case and says that the component uses laser beams that have been classified as Class 1. It means that the unit is utilizing laser beams that are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit. --4-- Handling Compact discs Playing a CD 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 CDs from getting scratched or damaged. Handling CDs · Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (i.e., the side opposite the label) when holding it. Storing CDs · Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight ­ such as a car seat or above the fascia panel (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 CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a whilst, and put them back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that have been removed from their cases or prop them against something. Checking New CDs for Burrs When playing a new CD for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not load properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil. Burrs Burrs Cleaning CDs If a CD 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 CDs with conventional record cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene. · 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 CDRW package: read this information carefully before using the disc. · Do not stick tape on either side of the CD. Tape --5-- Handling Compact discs English 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 ...
