CD Care

• If the temperature inside the vehicle is too high, open the windows to ventilate before using the system.
• It is illegal to copy and play MP3/WMA files without permission. Use only legal CDs.
• Do not apply volatile substances to the CD surface, such as benzene or thinners, normal cleaning products, or vinyl record cleaning sprays.
• To avoid damaging the surface, always hold CDs by the outer edges or the center hole.
• Before inserting a disc into the player, clean the surface with a soft cloth (wipe from the center outward).
• Do not damage the disc surface and do not attach labels or adhesive tape to it.
• Do not insert objects other than CDs into the player (also do not insert more than one CD at a time).
• After use, store CDs in their cases to protect them from scratches and dirt.
• Due to manufacturing or recording methods, some types of CD-R/CD-RW discs may not play normally. Continued use of such discs may in some cases damage the audio system.

NOTE - Playback of copy-protected audio CDs Your vehicle's audio system may not play some copy-protected CDs that do not conform to the international audio CD standard (Red Book).

Therefore, if a copy-protected CD does not play correctly, the CD may be defective rather than the player.

• Do not disassemble, install, or modify the audio system. Doing so may cause malfunction, fire, or electric shock.
• Using the phone while driving may distract your attention from traffic conditions and increase the risk of an accident. Use the phone function after parking the vehicle.
• Make sure water or foreign objects do not enter the device. Otherwise, fire or product malfunction may result.
• If the screen is blank or no sound is output, do not use the system, as these signs may indicate a product malfunction. Continued use under these conditions may cause an accident (fire, electric shock) or product malfunction.
• Do not touch the antenna during thunderstorms, as this may attract lightning and cause an electric shock.
• Do not stop or park in no-parking zones to operate the product. Doing so may cause an accident.
• Use the system with the vehicle ignition on. Prolonged use with the ignition off may discharge the battery.

WARNING

• Using the device while driving may distract your attention from the surroundings and increase the risk of an accident. Park the vehicle before operating the device.
• Adjust the volume to a level that allows the driver to hear sounds from outside the vehicle. Driving in a condition where outside sounds cannot be heard may cause an accident.
• Pay attention to the volume setting when switching on the device. A sudden sound at extremely high volume when the device is turned on may cause hearing damage. (Adjust the volume to an appropriate level before turning off the device.)
• If you want to change the installation position of the device, contact the dealer or service center. Installation or removal of the device must be carried out by a qualified technician.
• Turn on the vehicle ignition before using this device. Prolonged use of the audio system with the ignition off may discharge the battery.

• When cleaning the device, turn it off and use a dry, soft cloth. Never use hard materials, chemical cloths, or solvents (alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.), as they may damage or discolor the device panel.
• Do not place drinks near the audio system. Spilled drinks may cause the system to malfunction.
• If the product malfunctions, contact the dealer or service center.
• Placing the audio system in an environment with electromagnetic waves may cause interference.

NOTE - USE OF THE USB DEVICE

• If the engine is started with the USB device connected, the USB device may be damaged. (USB flash drives are extremely sensitive to electrical surges.)
• If the engine is started or switched off while the external USB device is connected, the device may not work.
• Non-original MP3 and WMA files may not be played by the system.

1. 1
   Only MP3 files with a bit rate between 8 Kbps and 320 Kbps can be played.
2. 2
   Only WMA music files with a bit rate between 8 Kbps and 320 Kbps can be played.

• When connecting or disconnecting the external USB device, be careful of static electricity.
• Encoded MP3 players are not recognized.

NOTE - USING THE iPod® DEVICE

• Some iPod® models may not support the communication protocol, and files may not play correctly.

Supported iPod® models:

• iPhone® 3GS/4
• iPod® Touch 1st~4th generation
• iPod® Nano 1st~6th generation
• iPod® Classic

• The search or playback order of the tracks stored on the iPod® may differ from the search order used by the audio system.
• If the iPod® freezes due to a problem with the device itself, reset it. (For the reset procedure, refer to the iPod® manual.)
• The iPod® may not operate normally due to a low battery.
• Some iPod® devices, such as the iPhone, can be connected via Bluetooth® Wireless Technology. The device must be equipped with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology (such as Bluetooth® Wireless Technology stereo headphones). The device can play audio, but it will not be controlled by the audio system.
• To use the iPod® with the audio system, use the cable supplied with the iPod® at the time of purchase.
• Depending on the characteristics of the iPod®/iPhone used, skipping may occur or the device may not work correctly.
• If the iPhone is connected both via Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and USB, the content may not play correctly. On the iPhone, select Dock or Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to switch the audio output (source).
• When connecting the iPod® using the dedicated cable, fully insert the connector into the multimedia socket. If the cable is not fully inserted, communication between the iPod® and the audio system may be interrupted.
• When adjusting the sound effects of the iPod® and the audio system, the effects of both devices overlap and may reduce sound quality or distort the sound.
• When adjusting the audio through the audio system, turn off the iPod® equalizer; conversely, when using the iPod® equalizer, turn off the audio system equalizer.
• When not using the iPod® with the vehicle audio system, disconnect the iPod® cable from the iPod®. Otherwise, the iPod® will remain in accessory mode and will not operate properly.
