Drive + Play Warnings Distraction Warning Do not connect or disconnect your iPod or program Drive + Play while driving. Always be careful and attentive to your vehicle and the traffic around you. Always obey all traffic laws while driving. Always pull off the road and park in a position you are sure presents absolutely no risk before browsing your iPod or adjusting the settings on your Drive + Play. Connecting the iPod Always hold the Drive + Play's iPod dock connector by its sides and gently insert (or remove) the dock connector. Never use excessive force to insert or remove the connector, or damage to your iPod may occur. Lost Data Harman/Kardon is not responsible for any lost data on your iPod when using the Drive + Play. Be sure to back up the audio data files on your computer. Loud Music and Hearing Playing loud music in a vehicle can permanently damage your hearing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. The maximum volume levels achievable with this product, combined with high power amplification, may exceed safe levels for extended listening. We recommend using low volume levels when driving. Harman/Kardon accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury, or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product. Headphones and Driving Do not use headphones while operating a vehicle. This practice is illegal in some areas. Always be careful and attentive to your vehicle and the traffic around you. Always obey all traffic laws while driving. Drive + Play's audio output is not suitable for driving headphones and is intended to output a signal appropriate for an audio system's line-level input jack. About Installation Although we recommend professional installation for your Harman/Kardon Drive + Play, this product is designed for do-it-yourself installation as well, especially when using the wireless FM transmission method (see page 4). Although the enclosed instructions explain how to install the Drive + Play in a general sense, they do not show the exact methods for your particular vehicle. After reading the manual, if you feel uncomfortable in performing the necessary steps to install the product, consider asking your car-audio dealer about professional installation options. 2 INTRODUCTION
