in this manual to tell you about things that could hurt you or other people if you were to ignore the Warnings. We
cannot be responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe the Warnings in this manual.
• This manual uses a symbol to show how to use this product safely and to avoid harm to yourself and others and
damage to your property. Here is what this symbol means. Understanding it is important for reading the Manual.
• Meaning of Symbol:
!
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER
Attempts to disassemble or alter this product can lead to accidental fires or electrical shock.
KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
Keep small articles (wire-ties, etc.) out of reach of children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND
Use only in cars with a 12 volt negative (–) ground electrical system. (Check with your dealer if you are not sure.)
Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Before doing any electrical wiring, disconnect the cable from the negative (–) terminal of the battery. Failure to do so
may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
KEEP ELECTRICAL CABLES TOGETHER TO AVOID OPERATING HAZARDS
Dress the wiring to keep them from interfering with the operation of the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc.
DO NOT CUT AWAY ANY WIRE INSULATION TO USE ITS POWER FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT
Tapping power from wiring to supply voltage to another piece of equipment could exceed the current carrying
capacity of that wire. This could result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION
Do not install in locations which might create hazards for the vehicle occupants or hinder vehicle operation (such as
the steering wheel or gear shift) by obstructing forward vision or hampering movement etc.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPES OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes,
tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE NUTS OR BOLTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR INSTALLATION OR GROUND
CONNECTIONS
Never use safety-related parts such as bolts or nuts in the steering or brake systems or tanks to make wiring
installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.
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 OR LOOK AT THE SCREEN 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.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG
Ensure that the location chosen for the monitor does not interfere with the operation of the passenger seat air bag.
This will prevent the triggered air bag from launching the display towards passengers, possible causing injury.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always
contact the dealer where you purchased this unit to have the work done.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this
unit may cause smoke or fire.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS
Failure to make the correct connections can cause fire or accident to occur.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED
Route the cables and wiring so as not to be crimped by moving parts like seat rails or to make contact with sharp
spots which could damage the wiring.
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
2
sounds could cause an accident.
WARNING
driving the vehicle. The driver may be distracted from looking ahead
and an accident could occur.
This symbol means there is something that could cause serious injury or
death to you or other people.

2) SmartView™ Swivel Mechanism
The design of this mechanism provides the rear seat passengers a stable picture, viewable from
many different angles. This system allows the LCD to tilt from 90 to 120 degrees in 10 degree
steps. At the same time, the LCD will maintain its horizontal view while being rotated from left
to right, up to 30 degrees, in 10 degree steps.
NOTE:
• The LCD will only close when rotation is at 0 degrees to prevent damage to the monitor.
• When rotating the monitor, use both hands on either side of the panel to ensure even pressure
on the mechanism. This will prevent damage to the SmartView™ Swivel mechanism.
• Make sure the panel is fully opened (90 degree position) before trying to rotate.
