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.

Setting of the O-N switch will be required
depending on the centre unit that is to be
connected. (See page 10.)
The operations you perform and the
resultant operation of the unit will differ
depending on the setting of the O-N
switch. Please see the appropriate
description of operations for the "O" or
"N" switch setting.

Cleaning the Unit

If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the
stain off with a cloth moistened with neutral
cleaner, then wipe neutral detergent off.

Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch
the surface or erases characters.

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get
dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Lens Fogging

Right after you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the MD player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, MDs may be impossible to play.
In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit
still does not operate normally after a while,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
