Safety

WARNING

Do not operate any function that takes your attention away from safe driving.

CAUTION

Volume setting:

• Adjust the volume so that you can hear sounds outside the car to prevent accident.
• Lower the volume before playing digital sources to avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.

General:

• Avoid using the USB device or iPod/ iPhone if it might hinder driving safety.
• Make sure all important data has been backed up. We shall bear no responsibility for any loss of recorded data.
• Never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the unit, to prevent a short circuit.
• If a disc error occurs due to condensation on the laser lens, eject the disc and wait for the moisture to evaporate.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the unit: Wipe off the dirt on the panel with a dry silicon or soft cloth.
• Cleaning the connector: Detach the faceplate and clean the connector with a cotton swab gently, being careful not to damage the connector.

Basic procedure

1 Remove the key from the ignition switch, then disconnect the ⊖ terminal of the car battery.

2 Install the DAB antenna.

→ (page 10)

3 Make proper input and output wire connections.

→ (page 8)

4 Install the unit to your car.

→ (page 9)

5 Reconnect the ⊖ terminal of the car battery.

6 Reset the unit. (page 2)

WARNING

• The unit can only be installed in a car with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
• If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
• Disconnect the battery's negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.
  • Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car's chassis again after mounting.
• If the power is not turned ON ("PROTECT" is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be checked.

CAUTION

• If your car's ignition key switch does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wires to a constant-voltage power source, as with battery wires, the battery may die.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided.
  • Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Make sure the faceplate will not hit the lid of the console (if any) when closing and opening.
  • After the installing the unit, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30^ or less.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching other parts to cause a short circuit, and then replace the old fuse with one with new one with the same rating.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the corresponding terminals. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety's sake, leave this work to professionals. If you experience problems during installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

CAUTION

Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.

Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.

Installing DAB antenna (KDC-DAB43U only)

CAUTION

• This film antenna is exclusively for use inside the vehicle.
• Do not install at the following locations:

– Where it may block driver's view

– Where it may obstruct operation of safety devices such as air bags

- On movable glass surface such as rear hatch

• Signal strength will decrease at the following locations:

- On IR reflecting glass or where covered with mirror type glass film

– Where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna (pattern)

– Where it overlaps with window heating wires

- At side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter window)

- On rear window

- When glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass) is used

– Reception may decrease due to noise when windshield wiper, air conditioner, or motor is operating.

– Reception may decrease depending on the direction of the broadcast station with respect to the vehicle (antenna).

• Be sure to check the installation location of film antenna Ⓕ before installing. Film antenna cannot be re-pasted.
• Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface with the included cleaner ①.
• Do not bend or damage the film antenna Ⓕ.
• Warm the pasting surface by turning on the heater for example, before applying.
• It may not be possible to install on some type of vehicle.

- Check the cable routing of the film antenna Ⓕ and amplifier Ⓖ before pasting.

Installation overview

DAB antenna F/ G Antenna cable (3.5 m)

• The antenna should be installed on the passenger side for safety.
• Use cord clamper Ⓗ to secure the antenna to the pillar at several locations.
• The direction of the antenna film Ⓕ changes depending on whether the film antenna Ⓕ is installed on the right side or left side.
• Separate the antenna film (F) from the ceramic line (black part) at the top of the front glass by 150 mm.

Also, place it about 70 mm inside the ceramic line at the side end of the front glass. (where the earth sheet of the amplifier can be pasted on the metal part of the front pillar)

• Separate from other antennas by at least 100 mm.
• Do not paste the amplifier Ⓖ on the ceramic line (black part) around the front glass. Because there is not enough adhesion.

Antenna Installation

1 Check the installation location.
2 Wipe the area where antenna film Ⓕ, amplifier unit Ⓖ, and earth sheet are pasted with the included cleaner Ⓘ.

The coating on the metal surface need not be removed.

• Wait until the glass surface is completely dry before pasting.
  – If the glass surface is cold, such as during winter, warm it with defroster or dryer.

3 Remove the separator (tag I) of antenna film Ⓕ horizontally and paste the antenna on the front glass.

• Remove the separator gently.
• Do not touch the pasting surface (adhesive side) of the antenna film Ⓕ.

4 Remove the separator (tag II) of antenna film Ⓕ vertically and paste the antenna gently while applying pressure.

8 Remove the film covering the earth sheet and paste the earth sheet on the metal part of the vehicle.

Provide sufficient leeway for the earth sheet so that it does not interfere with the interior parts (front pillar cover). Also take care that the interior parts do not interfere with the amplifier ⑥.

9 Wire the antenna cables.

Use cord clamper Ⓗ to secure the antenna to the pillar at several locations.

Notes

Take the following precautions when passing the antenna cable inside the front pillar where the air bag is installed.

• Install the amplifier part of the antenna cable in front or above the air bag so that the antenna and the air bag do not interfere.
