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 excessive
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 espe-
cially 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. Direct con-
nection of the speaker/headphone output of an external
device without any attenuator may distort sound or
damage the connected external device.
Observe the following cautions when installing.
❏ Refer wiring and installation to qualified service
personnel.

them from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws,
and 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.

tools to install the product. The use of parts other than
those supplied or designated may result in internal
damage to the unit. Faulty installation may lead to an
accident, a malfunction or fire.
