Before Use  
Cleaning the Unit  
Safety Precautions  
If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry  
soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.  
2WARNING  
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the stain off with a  
cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe neutral  
detergent off.  
To prevent injury and/or fire, take the following  
precautions:  
• Ensure that the unit is securely installed. Otherwise it  
may fly out of place during collisions and other jolts.  
• When extending the ignition, battery or ground wires,  
make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other cables  
with an area of 0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent  
wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.  
• To prevent short circuits, never put or leave any metallic  
objects (e.g., coins or metal tools) inside the unit.  
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells, turn off  
the power 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.  
2CAUTION  
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.  
Screen brightness during low temperatures  
When the temperature of the unit falls such as during  
winter, the liquid crystal panel's screen will become  
darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after  
using the monitor for a while.  
If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body  
or clothing, wash it off with soap immediately.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
About the disc changer/CD player to be  
2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the  
To connect a disc changer having the "O-N" switch to this  
unit, set the "O-N" switch to "N".  
To connect a disc changer having no "O-N" switch to this  
unit, the converter cord CA-DS100 and/or switching  
adapter KCA-S210A are required as options.  
A disc changer doesn't work when it is connected  
without using these options.  
If a model with no "O-N" switch is connected, some  
unavailable functions and information that cannot be  
displayed are generated.  
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.  
following precautions:  
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power  
supply.  
• Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.  
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight  
or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too  
much dust or the possibility of water splashing.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it is a  
piece of precision equipment.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the  
prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may  
cause your unit to malfunction.  
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, first  
disconnect the wiring harness.  
• Do not use any screws except for the ones provided. The  
use of improper screws might result in damage to the  
main unit.

About RDS  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
RDS is a service used by radio stations to transmit data  
outside normal radio broadcast signals.  
When an RDS station is received, you can immediately  
find out what kind of data is being transmitted by looking  
at the program service name, which appears in the  
display after the frequency.  
The RDS indicator turns on when an RDS station is being  
received.  
Alarm  
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters,  
etc.) is made, the current function will be interrupted to  
allow the warning to be received under the following  
conditions:  
during tuner reception, or when the Traffic Information  
function is turned on.  
Reset button  
• We recommend the use of the Security Code function (see  
p. 10) to prevent theft.

Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the  
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material.  
ignition and disconnect the ·terminal of the battery.  
• During use, the surface temperature of this unit will  
become high, therefore it should not be mounted  
where anything sensitive to the heat, such as people  
or resins, would come into contact with it.  
• Do not install the receiver unit under the carpet.  
Otherwise heat build-up occurs and the unit may be  
damaged.  
2. Make the proper input and output cable connections for  
each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order:  
ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or  
less.  
7. Reconnect the ·terminal of the battery.  
8. Press the reset button. (See p. 4)  
• If your car's ignition does not come with an ACC  
position, connect the ignition wires to a power source  
that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If  
you connect the ignition wire to a power source that  
receives a constant voltage supply, as with battery  
wires, the battery may die.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have  
not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse  
with one with the same rating.  
• Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch  
metal on the car or anything else conducting  
electricity. To prevent short circuits do not remove  
the caps from unused terminals or from the ends of  
the unconnected wires.  
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake  
lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working  
properly.
