N° de série : ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................A-N-09505 23 Warnings The reproduction of whole or part of this guide is strictly forbidden without Aldenʼs agreement. Alden draws your attention to the risks that may occur if the mounting is not correct. Alden declines all responsability if the product is not mounted in the correct way and especially if it is installed by a non professional person. The retailer is ment to know installation rules and to apply them. He will especially respect the installation location, the cable connection, the gluing and screwing. By selling and installing an Alden product, the retailer is obliged to inform his customer on how the product works and perhaps how to install the product in some cases. He will also give the customer all relevent documents. The retailer will inform the customer about security matters. The retailer must inform the end user on how to use an Alden product and safety measures. The product is to be used only for the intended matter. The retailer must also inform the end user about the current laws applicable in the country where the product is going to be used. Each product with electronic components has to be protected from undervoltage (under 10,5 volts) and overvoltage (over 15 volts). It is strictly forbidden to open, interfer, repair and/or modify the product without Aldenʼs agreement. The warranty will no longer be applicable if you undertake such an action. ALDEN declines all responsibility in the event of incidents or accidents if they are due to a non observation of the installation instructions or the way the product is used. Remove the fuse from the electric circuit board of the satellite system and receiver before interfering on the general circuit board, or changing or connecting the battery. If the vehicle is equipped with a solar panel, also remove the fuse. Keep away from children. You must install separate cables, with a 5 Amp. fuse on the plus line, directly from the battery cell to the television. Before interfering on the electric circuits, make sure the specifications of the device and the electric circuit are compatible. Do not drop or push objects into the television, the slots or the openings. Do not spill liquid on the television. Do not open or touch the inner circuit. Do not remove the back cover: only qualified professional is allowed to do so. Do not use the television if the power supply, cables or connections are damaged. Never lay anything on the cables. Make sure that the cables cannot be pulled off and that no one will stumble over them. To unplug a cable, hold the plug and not the cable. The openings are to ventilate the television. They have to stay free. Never lay the television on a bed, a sofa or any other soft surface. This can block the openings and stop the television from being ventilated. If you install the television in a closed area, make sure the ventilation is sufficient: there must remain a 20cm space round the television to assure a sufficient ventilation. Do not expose the television to rain or water (kitchen, bathroom...). If this ever does happen, disconnect immediatly the power supply from the television and contact your retailer. Install the television in a place where it will not be affected by humidity, dust, and on a flat and stable surface. Use the device carefully. The screen is made of a thin layer of glass, it is therefore sensitive to shocks, scratches... Do not clean with corosive products. Simply use a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not place magnetic products (like loudspeakers...) near the television. In case of dysfunction (unusual sound or smoke...), unplug immediatly the power supply from the television and contact your retailer.A-N-0950524 A high ambient temperature may cause the television to dysfunction. Do not use nor stock the television in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. If the ambient temperature is too low, the quality of the picture may be affected. If this is the case, switch the television off and wait for a few minutes. If the problem remains when you switch the television on again, change the ambient temperature. Unplug the television from the power supply before interfering with the television. Only use the foot sold with the device. The television must be mooved carefully. It may fall in case of brutal stop, in case of acceleration or when driving on damaged roads. Never install the television in a place where it will be in direct contact with sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity or a lot of dust: this could damage the internal parts of the television. Place the television on a stable surface and handle with care. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if droped, in case of collision or scraped. When the television is not used during a long period, disconnect the power supply. In case of dysfunction (unusual sound or smoke...), unplug immediatly the power supply from the television and contact your retailer. Unplug the television from the power supply before attempting to repair it. Make sure the technicien uses authorized spare parts. If these parts are not conform they may cause fire, electric shock or other dangers. Follow all the maintenance and reparation procedures, make sure the technicien controls all security devices to ensure that the television can be used without danger.
