Important Notice

Installation of overhead products requires careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful when working on a vehicle with side

curtain air bags. Do not route wires near any portion of the side curtain air bag assemblies. This includes any anchor points in A, B, C or
D pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires in these areas or running wires by the side curtain air bags can prevent the side curtain air bag from
fully deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If you have any questions regarding wire routing in a vehicle,
please contact Audiovox Technical Support at 1-800-225-6074.

When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation ensure that the ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected to
the vehicle ACC wiring. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle connection
point and the mobile video product.

An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used
for vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is used for television
reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is
in “park” or when the vehicle's parking brake is applied.

An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the
parking brake is not applied must be installed to the rear of the driver's seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the operator
of the motor vehicle.

Warnings

• Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the video monitor.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen.

• Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is dirty.

• Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use.

• Before putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position.

• Remember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto positions when the vehicle is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can drain

the vehicle's battery.

• Do not put pressure on the screen.

• Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or damaged.
