IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
About the disc changer to be  
connected:  
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N"  
switch to this unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N".  
Note that none of the KDC-C100, KDC-C302,  
C205, C705, and non-Kenwood CD changers  
can be connected.  
You can damage both your unit and the CD  
changer if you connect them incorrectly.  
Precautions when connecting disc changers  
released in 1997 or earlier.  
The optional switching adapter KCA-S210A is  
necessary to connect a disc changer that is  
not equipped with the "O-N" switch except  
KDC-C100, KDC-C302, C205 and C705.  
2WARNING  
Take the following precautions to  
prevent fire and avoid personal injury:  
• When extending the ignition wire, battery  
wire, or ground wire, use 0.75mm2 (AWG18)  
or larger automotive grade wire to avoid wire  
deterioration or damage to the covering.  
• Check that no metal objects (coins, tools,  
etc.) are left inside the unit to avoid short  
circuits.  
• If you smell or see smoke, turn the power  
off immediately and consult your Kenwood  
dealer.  
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the  
LCD is damaged or broken due to shock. The  
liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your  
health or even fatal.  
NOTE  
• If you have difficulty in installing this unit in  
your vehicle, contact your Kenwood dealer.  
• If it doesn’t seem to be working properly,  
first press the Reset button. If the  
malfunction persists, consult your Kenwood  
dealer.  
Cleaning the Unit  
If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the  
power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon  
cloth or soft cloth.  
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD  
contacts your body or clothing, wash it off  
with soap immediately.  
Reset button  
2CAUTION  
• Some car stereos cause the sound of the  
tuner to make for a moment when an  
engine is activated.  
• The reception of the tuner may be reduced  
a little if the KCA-R70FM is used.  
• If the sound is lower than the tuner sound,  
raise up the volume level of the CD/MD  
with using the receiver.  
2CAUTION  
Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner,  
alcohol, or other volatile solvents. These may  
damage external surfaces or remove  
indicator characters.  
Take the following precautions to  
keep the unit in proper working order.  
• Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC  
power supply with a negative ground  
connection.  
• Do not open the top or bottom cover.  
• Do not install the unit in places it is exposed  
to direct sunlight, high heat or humidity,  
water may splash over it, or dust exists.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the  
screws provided. If you use the wrong  
screws, you could damage the unit.
