Caution
Observe the following cautions when using this
unit.
❑
Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and
traffic conditions while driving.
❑
This unit is designed for use exclusively in automo-
biles.
❑
Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with
the engine turned off.
Operating the audio system for a long period of time with the
engine turned off will drain the battery.
❑
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or exces-
sive heat.
Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the
unit, and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the
unit.
❑
Do not use the product where it is exposed to water,
moisture, or dust.
Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to
smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially
sure that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy
days.
❑
Set the volume level to low enough before the AUX
connection is completed.
Failure to observe this, the loud noise may come out and
damage your speakers and your hearing.
❑
Do not connect the front AUX directly with a speak-
er/headphone output. Failure to observe this, the
sound may not only be distorted, but also break the
internal amplifier.

moving parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or
twist the leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place
heavy objects on them. If leads must be run over sharp
metal edges, protect the leads by winding them with vinyl
tape or similar protection.
