• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the unit.
• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit's display when you are driving for any extended period.
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety's sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.

• Use only the screws provided or specified for installation. If you use wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

NOTE

• If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
• 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 be inapplicable.
