PrecautionsEnglish

WARNING

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "WARNING" are intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER

Attempts to disassemble or alter may lead to an accident, fire and/or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN

Store small articles (screws etc.) in places not accessible to children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES

Replace fuses only with fuses of the same ampere rating. Failure to do so may result in a fire and/or damage to the vehicle.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS

When problems appear, stop using the system immediately and contact the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment. Some problems which may warrant immediate attention include a lack of sound, noxious odors or smoke being emitted from the unit, or foreign objects dropped inside the unit.

DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT WHILE DRIVING

Do not change settings while driving. If operation requiring a prolonged view of the display is required, stop the vehicle in a safe location before attempting operation.

2

PrecautionsEnglish

CAUTION

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "CAUTION" are intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or material damage.

DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY

Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside noises while driving. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.

DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

Do not use this equipment for purposes other than those listed for a vehicle. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock or an injury.

KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE MONITOR COMPARTMENT

Keep foreign objects out of the monitor compartment. Also, avoid placing your hands in the area where it might interfere with the monitor's operation.

STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH YOUR DRIVING

If the operation of this unit (such as raising or lowering of the monitor, etc.) interferes with your driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location before attempting operation.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY

Do not mix new batteries with old batteries and do not replace with other than specified batteries. When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as instructed.

Battery rupture or chemical leakage can cause an injury or equipment malfunction.

PrecautionsEnglish

CAUTION

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "CAUTION" are intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or material damage.

Be sure to remove the anti-theft face cover when you drive. Otherwise the face cover may fall off the unit and interfere safe operation of the vehicle.

Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex. Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions into a special SET UP screen. This will restrict operation of these functions to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the driver's attention will be on the road and not on the CVA-1000R. This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers. Whenever reference to the SET UP menu is made in this Owner's Manual, be advised that the car must be parked for the procedure described to be valid. If the car is moving, the warning "CAN'T OPERATE WHILE DRIVING," will be displayed after pressing the SET UP button.

In addition to the SET UP button, the SOURCE button operation is also slightly changed to simplify use while driving. Pressing the SOURCE button while driving will immediately change the audio source without having to make a selection from the SOURCE Select menu. This operation is the same as when selecting sources using the remote control (RUE-4160). When the car is parked, the selection is made as described in the Owner's Manual.
