Operating Instructions

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR

ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be

performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle

in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do

so may result in an accident.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL

HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency

vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be

dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD

VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING

DAMAGE.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of

the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may

result in fire, etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT

OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,

consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING

FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,

electric shock or other injury.

About MP3/WMA/AAC

What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3,” is a

compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International

Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity

institution of the IEC.

MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is

capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios,

reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their

original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD

quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios

by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human

ear or masked by other sounds.

What is AAC?

AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a

basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.

What is WMA?

WMA, or “Windows media™ Audio,” is compressed audio data.

WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality

sound with small file sizes.

Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files

Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA/AAC specified

software. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to

the user’s manual for that software.

MP3/WMA/AAC file extensions that can be played back on the

unit are as follows:

MP3: “mp3”

WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.1, 8, 9, 9.1, 9.2 supported)

AAC: “m4a”

WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media

Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows

Media Audio 9 Pro Lossless.

Depending on the software that is used to create AAC, the file

format may differ from the extension.

Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC

MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, and then written to USB

memory. Or, synchronize an MP3/WMA file using Windows

Media Player (Ver. 7.1, 8, 9, 9.1, 9.2), and then forward to the

Portable audio player.

A USB memory device can hold up to 10,000 files/1000 folders

(including Root Folders). Playback may not be performed if a

USB memory / Portable audio player device exceeds the

limitations described above.

Do not make a file’s playback time more than 1 hour.
