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

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.

2WARNING

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.

2CAUTION

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 CA-

DS100 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.

You can damage both your unit and

the CD changer if you connect them

incorrectly.

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.

2CAUTION

Safety precautions

English

· 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.

· 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.

NOTE

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.

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.

The marking of products using lasers

(Except for some areas)

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.

2CAUTION

Safety precautions

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.

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.

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.

· 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 CD-

RW package: read this information carefully

before using the disc.

· Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

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.

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.

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.
