you are driving for any extended period.

•  If you experience problems during installation, consult 

your KENWOOD dealer.

 

Ñ Precautions on using this unit

•  When you purchase optional accessories, check with 

your KENWOOD dealer to make sure that they work with 
your model and in your area.

•  You can select language to display menus, audio file 

tags, etc. See User Interface Setup (P.80) in the 
Instruction Manual.

•  The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast Data System 

feature won’t work where the service is not supported 
by any broadcasting station.

•  The unit may not function properly if the connectors 

between the unit and front panel are dirty. Detach the 
front panel and clean the connector with a cotton swab 
gently, being careful not to damage the connector.

 

Ñ Precautions on battery

•  Put the remote control in a place where it will not 

move during braking or other operations. A dangerous 
situation could result, if the remote control falls down 
and gets wedged under the pedals while driving.

•  Do not leave the battery near fire or under direct 

sunlight. A fire, explosion or excessive heat generation 
may result.

•  Do not recharge, short, break up or heat the battery 

or place it in an open fire. Such actions may cause the 
battery to leak fluid. If spilled fluid comes in contact with 
your eyes or on clothing, immediately rinse with water
