Precautions
# WARNINGS
Ñ To prevent injury or fire, take
the following precautions:
· To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic tools) inside the unit.
· Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s display when you are driving for any extended period.
· If you experience problems during installation, consult your KENWOOD dealer.
Ñ Precautions on using this unit
· When you purchase optional accessories, check with your KENWOOD dealer to make sure that they work with your model and in your area.
· You can select a language to display menus, audio file tags, etc. See System Setup (P.56).
· The Radio Data System feature won’t work in areas where the service is not supported by any broadcasting station.
Ñ Protecting the monitor
· To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate the monitor using a ball point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.
Ñ 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 it with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.
NOTE · Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may damage 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 erase the screened print.

Ñ Acquiring GPS signal
The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition. After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.
Ñ About GLONASS
This unit uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) in addition to GPS. Combining GPS and GLONASS can refine positioning accuracy than using GPS only.
Ñ Caution for Smartphone Users
Simultaneously running multiple applications on your smartphone while screen sharing places heavy demand on the microprocessor of the phone, potentially affecting communication and performance. For best results while pairing with your KENWOOD receiver, please be sure to close any unused applications.
How to read this manual
· The screens and panels shown in this manual are examples used to provide a clear explanation of operations. For this reason, they may be different from the actual screens or panels, or some display patterns may be different from the actual ones.
