For a longer service life, be sure to read the  
following cautions.  
USB Port  
When a USB memory stick is used, it may  
stick out presenting the possibility of injury.  
Use a USB extension cable to prevent this  
hazard.  
The USB memory sticks must be  
recognized as “USB mass storage class”  
to work properly. Some models may not  
operate correctly.  
Clarion will not be held liable in the unlikely  
event of loss of or damage to memorized  
data.  
When using an USB memory stick, we  
recommend that you backup your data on  
a personal computer.  
Do not allow any liquids on the set. Doing  
so may damage the internal circuitry.  
Do not disassemble or modify the set in  
any way. Doing so may result in damage.  
Do not let cigarettes burn the display.  
Doing so may damage or deform the body.  
If a problem should occur, have the set  
inspected at your store of purchase.  
The remote control unit may not work if the  
remote control sensor is exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
Data files may be lost or become corrupted  
when using USB memory sticks in the  
following situations: When the USB  
memory stick is disconnected or the power

For tough dirt, apply some neutral  
detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth,  
wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again  
with a dry cloth.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner,  
etc., as these substances may damage  
the body or cause the paint to peel. Also,  
leaving rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the body for long periods of  
time may cause stains.  
When the USB memory stick is connected  
or disconnected while the contents are  
being accessed.  
Some USB memory sticks cannot be  
inserted to the main unit because of their  
shape. In such cases, use a commercial  
USB extension cable to connect them.
