Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a certain type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is no more than the required
one for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’lndustrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des
autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.

Handling Discs

Basic Operations
Note:

Handling

Storage

• New discs may have some roughness
around the edges. If such discs are used,
the player may not work or the sound may
skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to
remove any roughness from the edge of
the disc.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
any heat source.
• Do not expose discs to excess humidity or
dust.
• Do not expose discs to direct heat from
heaters.

Ball-point pen
Roughness

Cleaning
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the
center of the disc to the circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as
commercially available cleaners, anti-static
spray, or thinner to clean discs.
• After using special disc cleaner, let the disc
dry off well before playing it.

On Discs
• Never stick labels on the surface of the disc
or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
• Never play a disc with any cellophane tape
or other glue on it or with peeling off marks.
If you try to play such a disc, you may not
be able to get it back out of the player or it
may damage the player.
• Do not use discs that have large scratches,
are misshapen, cracked, etc.
Use of such discs may cause misoperation
or damage.
• To remove a disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
• Do not use commercially available disc
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the
disc or cause breakdown of the internal
mechanism.

• Never turn off the power and remove the
unit from the car with a disc loaded.

•	Refer to the diagrams in “3. CONTROLS”

drop anything into the unit during
	installation, consult your dealer or an
authorized Clarion service center.

Figure 3

1. Before installation, please make sure proper
connections are conducted and the unit operates normally. Improper connection may
result in damage to the unit.
2. Use only accessories designed and manufactured for this unit as other unauthorized
accessories may result in damage to the
unit.
3. Before installation, please fasten all power
cables.
4. DO NOT install the unit close to hot areas
to prevent damage to electrical components
such as the laser head.
5. Install the unit horizontally. Installing the unit
at a vertical angle of more than 30 degrees
may result in worse performance.

6. To prevent electric sparks, connect the positive pole first and then the negative pole.

Unit Installation
1. When installing the main unit in NISSAN
vehicles, use the parts attached to the unit
(see “ NISSAN”). When installing the main
unit in TOYOTA vehicles, use the parts attached to the vehicle
(see “ TOYOTA”).
2. Wire as shown in “Wire Connection”.
3. Reassemble and secure the unit in the
dashboard and set the face panel and center panel.

2.	Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case.
Never use a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, or alcohol etc. For tough dirt,
apply a little cold or warm water to a
soft cloth and wipe off the dirt gently.
