Using a cellular phone or a
two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong
with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a
place as far as possible from the
audio equipment.
Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped)
• Because the thickness of a
sette tape with the total playback
time of over 60 minutes (C-60) are
too thin, we suggest that you do
not use any of them to avoid hav-
ing tapes being tangled.
• To achieve better sound qu
periodically clean the tape head
using a cotton stick with colorless
alcohol (once per month).
• If a tape is too loose, fasten
reel by winding with objects like a
pencil.
• Because dust or foreign objec
a cassette tape may damage the
playback head, always store tapes
in their cases when not in use.
• Make sure cassette tapes are
away from magnetic devices (TV,
stereo system, etc) in order to
achieve better sound quality.
• Be certain that no objects or
stances other than cassette tapes
are inserted into the cassette tape
player.• Because tape media can be
torted when exposed to direct sun-
light, Do not leave cassette tapes
on the seats, dashboard or near
the back windshield.
WARNING - Cellular
phones
Don’t use a cellular phone when
you are driving. The driver must
stop at a safe place to use a cel-
lular phone.

Care of disc (if equipped)
• If the temperature inside the car is
too high, open the car windows for
ventilation before using your car
audio.
• It is illegal to copy and use
MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files with-
out permission (If equipped with
M465, use only MP3/WMA, if
equipped with M445, use only CD-
DA). Use CDs that are created only
by lawful means.
• Do not apply volatile agents such
as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analogue disc onto CDs.
• To prevent the disc surface from
getting damaged. Hold and carry
CDs by the edges or the edges of
the center hole only.
• Clean the disc surface with a piece
of soft cloth before playback (wipe
it from the center to the outside
edge).
• Do not damage the disc surface or
attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper onto it.• Make sure on undesirable matter
other than CDs are inserted into
the CD player (Do not insert more
than one CD at a time).
• Keep CDs in their cases after use
to protect them from scratches or
dirt.
• Depending on the type of CD-
R/CD-RW CDs, certain CDs may
not operate normally according to
manufacturing companies or mak-
ing and recording methods. In such
circumstances, if you still continue
to use those CDs, they may cause
the malfunction of your car audio
system.
✽
NOTICE - Playing an
Incompatible Copy-Protected
Audio CD
Some copy-protected CDs, which do
not comply with the international
audio CD standards (Red Book),
may not play on your car audio.
Please note that if you try to play
copy protected CDs and the CD
player of your car audio is not per-
forming to your expectation, this
may be caused by those CDs and not
a defect in the device itself. Please
replace those CDs.
