What should I be aware of for safety when operating the unit?

  • Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
  • Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.
  • If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

What are the basic operations of the main unit and remote controller?

  • Pressing the power button on the main unit or remote controller turns the unit on. When the power is on, pressing /I/ATT on the remote controller also attenuates the sound or pauses. Press /I/ATT again to cancel muting or resume playback.
