Basic operations
Stealth Retraction Mechanism
You can help prevent theft of the unit by reversing the
faceplate so that the control panel cannot be seen, hiding the
unit, and shutting off the audio.
Power ON/OFF:
When you turn your vehicle's ignition on, the unit's power will
also turn on, with the faceplate reversing to show the control
panel.
When you turn your vehicle's ignition off, the faceplate will
reverse to hide the control panel, and the unit's power will turn
off.
NOTE
• The first time you use the unit, you need to press "the touch-
sensitive spot" at the rear of the faceplate. (as illustrated)
• When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and
return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the
action.
Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles
2CAUTION
• Make sure the console is uncovered while the faceplate is
reversed.
• Do not exert any excess force on the movable parts of the unit,
including the faceplate, as it can cause failure in the unit's
mechanism.
Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):
Keep pressing the CLOSE/PWR OFF button for at least one
second.
The faceplate will reverse, hiding the unit. The unit will turn
off.
NOTE
• When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn
off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object
and press the TUN button to turn the unit back on, then turn it
off again to have it close properly.
• While the control panel is moving, pressing the buttons will not
have any effect. Do not try to press the buttons on the control
panel as the faceplate is moving, as excessive force may
damage the unit.
• During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left
12
(See page 8)
closed while ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open
no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off, unless "the
touch-sensitive spot" at the rear of the faceplate is pressed in
order to open it. You can prevent tampering of the unit when
letting someone else drive your car by keeping it closed this
way.
To cancel the stealth retraction mechanism's forced closing of
unit and open control panel:
Press "the touch-sensitive spot" at the rear of the faceplate.
(as illustrated)
Selecting the standby mode:
Press the TUN button repeatedly and switch to "ALL OFF."
When "ALL OFF" is displayed, the standby mode is activated.
The standby mode turns all functions off while leaving the
power to the unit on. Use this mode when you want to have
the display illuminated but don't want to listen to anything.
Touch-sensitive spot
NOTE
Touch sensitive spot
The invisible switch is hiding behind the touch-sensitive spot.
Press the hollow spot (invisible switch) to open.
