2. PRECAUTIONS
Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car, the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.
For questions or problems not covered in this manual, contact your local Clarion Dealer.
Operating
•Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual. 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 on the LCD. Turn the unit off immediately! 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 using the system, make sure you are seated with your seat belt fastened. Otherwise, you may hit your head on the unit if the driver breaks suddenly. In an accident, injuries can be more severe if your seat belt is not fastened.
•Before leaving the car, eject the DVD disc and store it separately away from direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage DVD discs causing them not to play.
General
•Do not leave the monitor extended when you’re not using it. Direct sunlight can cause the monitor to malfunction.
•Do not hang onto or hang items from the overhead monitor.
