Safety Precautions
To prevent injury and/or fire, take the
following precautions:
Ensure that the unit is securely installed. Otherwise
it may fly out of place during collisions and other
jolts.
When extending the ignition, battery or ground
cables, make sure to use automotive-grade cables or
other cables with an area of 0.75mm
2
(AWG18) or
more to prevent cable deterioration and damage to
the cable coating.
To prevent short circuits, never put or leave any
metallic objects (e.g., coins or metal tools) inside the
unit.
If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells,
turn off the power 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.
To prevent damage to the machine, take the
following precautions:
Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC
power supply.
Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.
Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid
places with too much dust or the possibility of water
splashing.
Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as
it is a piece of precision equipment.
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 short circuits when replacing a fuse, first
disconnect the wiring harness.
Do not use any screws except for the ones provided.
The use of improper screws might result in damage
to the main unit.
You cannot view video pictures whilst the vehicle is
moving. To enjoy TV/video pictures, find a safe place
to park and engage the parking brake.
If you experience problems during installation,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
If the unit does not seem to be working right, try
pressing the reset button first. If that does not solve
the problem, consult your Kenwood dealer.
Mask key
If you have transmitted the Mask Key's signal once to
the unit in advance, you will have to transmit it once
again if the unit has been removed from the battery.
If this procedure is not carried out, the control panel of
the unit will re-open even with your vehicle's ignition
turned off.
Do not loose the "Mask Key".
If power is disconnected from the unit, correct operation
can only be restored by the "Mask Key's" signal.
The "Mask Key" will also be required for service repair.
If you send products in for repair that include a mask
key, make sure to present the unit together with the
mask key.
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 wipe the panel with a stiff cloth or a cloth
dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner
and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel
and/or remove the indicator letters.
Screen brightness during low temperatures
When the temperature of the unit falls such as during
winter, the liquid crystal panel's screen will become
darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after
using the monitor for a whilst.
