About this Product

• This product complies with the EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC) and CE Marking Directive (93/68/EEC).

This product is a rear-seat audio-video selector that enables you to switch the display between audio and video.

When using this product

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the functions and their operation by reading through the manual before you begin using this product. It is especially important that you read and observe the "Precaution" on this page and in other sections.

Precaution

• Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures and precautions.
• Protect this product from moisture.
• Do not set a high volume level when using headphones to listen. Listening to high volumes for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect on hearing.

WARNING

• Connect the product to a display that cannot be seen by the driver. If the display can be installed only where it is visible to the driver, use a display that can detect the ON/OFF status of the parking brake, and be sure to install the display correctly so that it always works in conjunction with the parking brake switch.
• To avoid the risk of accident and the potential violation of applicable laws, this product is not for use with a video screen that is visible to the driver.
• In some countries or states the viewing of images on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.

Note:

• This product is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery cable before beginning installation.
• After completing installation and wiring, double check that there are no mistakes. Re-install any parts removed from the car during installation, then connect the battery negative terminal.
• Refer to the owner's manual for details on connecting the various cords of the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• When replacing a fuse, be sure to use only a fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.
• Always grip the Controller unit when connecting an RCA pin plug.

Note:

• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver's way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• When mounting this product, make sure none of the leads are trapped between this product and the surrounding metalwork or fittings.
• Do not mount this product near the heater outlet, where it would be affected by heat, or near the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.
• If this product is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor it securely so it does not break free while the car is moving, and cause injury or an accident.
• If this product is installed under a front seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.
• Install the controller in a safe place where it can be easily operated from the rear seat.
• Never install the controller on the dashboard where it will be exposed to the direct rays of the sun. It could be damaged by high temperatures.
• In attaching L-fixtures to the controller unit with screws, be careful not to overtighten the screws or tighten them slanted. An expanded screw hole might result, disabling attachment of the L-fixtures.
• The L-fixture can be bent to match the installation location.
