Failure to follow instructions may void the warranty. Do not use the unit with the ignition off. This could drain the car’s battery. If the internal temperature of the vehicle is extremely high (over 50 degrees Celsius), let the unit cool down a bit before you use it. If the temperature in the car is very low (below -5 degrees Celsius), starting the unit right after you start the car with its heater running may cause moisture to form in the unit. Do not power on the unit for an hour. Failure to do so may cause an electrical short. Allow about one hour for the condensation to dissipate before using the unit. In extremely cold temperatures the picture may appear dark and move slowly. The display returns to normal when the temperature rises. When operating the unit, ensure you are seated with your seat belt fastened, or parked in a safe location. Otherwise, you may be injured if the driver brakes suddenly. In an accident, injuries may be more severe if your seat belt is not fastened. Before leaving the vehicle, eject the disc and store it separately away from direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage discs causing them not to play. GENERAL Do not leave the monitor open when the unit is not in use. Direct sunlight can cause the monitor to malfunction. Do not hang onto or hang items from the overhead monitor. Do not pour liquid into the unit or insert foreign objects into the DVD drive slot. Water, humidity and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry. If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and consult your authorized Clarion Dealer for service. Do not operate the unit until it has been inspected and repaired. Do not drop the unit or hit the LCD panel. You may cause permanent damage. If the LCD breaks, avoid touching the glass and fluid. If you do touch the fluid, clean it off your body and/or clothes with plenty of water, then get medical attention. MAINTENANCE Do not clean the surface of the LCD with chemical solvents or corrosive detergents. Permanent damage to the screen may result. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean. Do not disassemble or modify this unit. You may damage the monitor, void the warranty, and suffer electric shock. Modification of this unit will void safety certifications.2.

MOUNTING AND WIRING PRECAUTIONS

The VT1010E/VT1510E should be mounted in the ceiling of the vehicle. The front panel controls should be easily accessible from the rear seat. In addition: This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V power supply. This unit may be in installed with additional mobile audio components, such as a digital camera. Always use great care when attaching anything to a vehicle. Check clearances on both sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any screws. A good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Use the shortest wire possible and securely connect it to the car chassis. When routing RCA cables, keep them away from the power cables and output speaker wires, engine, exhaust system, etc. Heat may damage wires. If the fuse should blow, make sure that all connections are correct, the cables have not caused a short circuit, and no wires are damaged. Then replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage value as the original fuse. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery side touch any metal part or any other wire. Never let disconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the car or any other conducting material. To prevent short circuits, do not remove the caps from unused terminals or from the ends of unconnected cables. Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. WARNING! To prevent short circuits during installation, disconnect the vehicle’s negative (-) battery lead before making any power connections.
