US PATENT # D413, 856

Important Notice

It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a
motor vehicle which is equipped with a television viewer
or screen that is located in the motor vehicle at any point
forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or that is visible,
directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle. In the interest of safety, the LCM1042TV should
never be installed where it will be visible, directly or
indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.

Please note that the state of Rhode Island forbids the
installation of such a device in a motor vehicle.

Television Reception

This entertainment system is designed primarily for
viewing pre-recorded movies or playing video games.
Television reception in a moving vehicle will be
limited and in some areas will not be possible due to
weak and variable signal strength. Television viewing
in a stationary vehicle will result in an improvement,
but may still be marginal due to strength. The quality
of the picture will not be consistent with home TV
reception. Reception may be affected by the
weather and distance from the TV station. A weak
signal may cause the picture to roll, be snowy, or
cause some color loss.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Flexvision
LCM1042TV drop down TV/Video monitor. The
LCM1042TV has been designed to give you and your
family many years of video entertainment in the mobile
environment. Please read the directions that follow to
familiarize yourself with the product and to ensure that
you obtain the best results from your equipment.

Please note: Installation options vary, see the

individual owner’s manuals for each component in your
system to obtain a full understanding of each
component’s operation.

Safety Precaution

For safety reasons, when changing video tapes or
DVD’s it is recommended that you not allow children to
unfasten seat belts to change tapes or make adjust­ments to the system while vehicle is in motion. System
adjustments can be accomplished using the remote
control unit, while seat belts remain fastened.
