BEFORE USE

* For safety....
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this

will block outside sounds, making driving
dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated

operations.

* Temperature inside the car....
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot
or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the
car becomes normal before operating the unit.

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product. Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to
ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best possible performance from the unit.
