Safety precautions
To prevent injury or fire, take the following
precautions:
·When extending the ignition, battery, or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with a 5 mm2
(AWG 10) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
· To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as 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 unit during use because the
surface of the unit becomes hot and may
cause burns if touched.
To prevent damage to the machine, take the
following precautions:
· Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC
power supply with a negative ground
connection.
· 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.
· 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 a short circuit when replacing a
fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.
· If you experience problems during
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
· If the unit does not seem to be working right,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
