Diagram showing a hand holding a device with a stop sign, indicating no chemical reaction or pollution.

- Do not press down hard on the LCD panel as doing so can distort the picture or cause a malfunction (i.e., the picture may become unclear or the LCD panel may be damaged).

- Do not touch the panel with objects other than with your finger as it may damage or break the LCD panel.

- Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray.

- Do not use the unit outside the temperature range 0^ - 40^ (32°F - 104°F).

- If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is not damaged and the picture will become clear after the temperature in your car becomes normal.

- Some stationary blue, red, or green dots may appear on the monitor. These are called "bright spots" and can happen with any LCD. The LCD panel is precision-manufactured with more than 99.99% of its segments functional. However, it is possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01% ) of the segments may not light up properly. This will not, however, interfere with your viewing.

Notes on the touch panel

Connection/Installation

Cautions

• Do not install this unit in a car that has no ACC position. The display of the unit does not turn off even after turning the ignition off, and this causes battery drain.
• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.
• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

Precautions

• Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.
• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30^ .
