Take the following precautions to

prevent fire and avoid personal injury:

• When extending the ignition wire, battery

wire, or ground wire, use 0.75mm

2

(AWG18)

or larger automotive grade wire to avoid wire

deterioration or damage to the covering.

• Check that no metal objects (coins, tools,

etc.) are left inside the unit to avoid short

circuits.

• If you smell or see smoke, turn the power

off immediately and consult your Kenwood

dealer.

• 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.

Take the following precautions to

keep the unit in proper working order.

• Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC

power supply with a negative ground

connection.

• Do not open the top or bottom cover.

• Do not install the unit in places it is exposed

to direct sunlight, high heat or humidity,

water may splash over it, or dust exists.

2CAUTION

2WARNING

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".

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.

Precautions when connecting disc changers

released in 1997 or earlier.

The optional switching adapter KCA-S210A is

necessary to connect a disc changer that is

not equipped with the "O-N" switch except

KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205 and C705.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the

power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon

cloth or soft cloth.

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner,

alcohol, or other volatile solvents. These may

damage external surfaces or remove

indicator characters.

2CAUTION

Safety Precautions

• 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 have difficulty in installing this unit in

your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.

• If it doesn’t seem to be working properly,

first press the Reset button. If the

malfunction persists, consult your Kenwood

dealer.

• Some car stereos cause the sound of the

tuner to make for a moment when an

engine is activated.

• The reception of the tuner may be reduced

a little if the KCA-R70FM is used.

• If the sound is lower than the tuner sound,

raise up the volume level of the CD/MD

with using the receiver.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the

screws provided. If you use the wrong

screws, you could damage the unit.
