Storage of portable audio unit connected to this accessory

After connecting the digital audio system, put the portable audio unit in a stable place where
it does not interfere with riding the motorcycle (e.g. in the sold separately front pouch, tank
belt pocket, etc.) in a place free from vibration as much as possible. 

Do not place the portable

audio unit in your pockets or clothes while connected to this accessory.

The portable audio unit can vibrate and contact  other materials while riding, causing a sound
skip.  To prevent such skips, store the portable audio unit in a suitable place while protecting
it from vibration and shock by covering it with cushioning material. (Protect the remote control
and peripheral devices as well as the portable audio unit.)
Any system failure and damage to the portable audio unit and its peripheral devices are not
covered by the warranty of this accessory.

Applicable portable audio unit

A commercially available portable audio player with a stereo mini jack terminal can be connected
to this accessory. (An attachment kit designed for the model is necessary to connect the
portable audio player to this accessory.) American Honda Motor Co., Inc. recommends you
use a shock-resistant portable audio player such as a flash-memory player (e.g. MP3, etc.) or
an MD player equipped with sound skip prevention function.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. also recommends you always ride your motorcycle safely on
paved roads, because sound skip can occur during riding on rough roads. Refer to the following
instructions on storage and handling of the portable audio unit.
This accessory is not designed to operate the portable audio unit connected to the accessory.
Refer to the portable audio unit manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for how to operate the portable
audio unit and operate it accordingly. Note that the warranty of this accessory does not cover
function and failure of the portable audio unit connected to the accessory.

Example of storing the portable audio unit

When leaving the motorcycle

When you leave your motorcycle or when the portable audio unit is not being used, disconnect
it from the digital audio system and remove it from the vehicle. This will help prevent theft of
