Before Use
The marking of products using lasers (Except for
some areas)
The label is attached to the chassis/case and says that the
component uses laser beams that have been classified as
Class 1. It means that the unit is utilizing laser beams that
are of a weaker class. There is no danger of hazardous
radiation outside the unit.
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 wire deterioration and damage to the wire
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.
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.
Loading and Replacing the Batteries for the
Remote
Do not set the remote on hot places such as above the
dashboard.
1. Use two "AAA" batteries.
Slide the cover while pressing downwards to remove
it as illustrated.
2. Insert the batteries with the ª and · poles aligned
properly following the illustration inside the case.
Store unused batteries out of the reach of children.
Contact a doctor immediately if the battery is
accidentally swallowed.
• The provided batteries are intended for use in operation
checking, and their service life may be short.
• When the remote controllable distance becomes short,
replace both of the batteries with new ones.
