Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the "Video in a Bag" System with a 5" Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) Monitor and Video Cassette Player Combination. The Video System utilizes the
latest state of the art electronics and is designed for use in vehicles, hotels, offices or your
home. The "Video in a Bag" System is constructed to provide years of reliable, trouble-free
service. Please read the entire instruction manual supplied with this product prior to
operation. The documentation will assist you in installing the system properly to obtain the
best equipment performance. All manuals should be stored for later use in the front pouch
of the Video Bag that is designed to hold the LCD Monitor and the Video Cassette Player.

Precautions

1. The "Video in a Bag" System MUST be powered from switched "Accessory " power (i.e.
no t di re ct ly fr om the battery). Power should be applied to the unit when the ignition
key is in the Run and/or Accessory positions.

NOTE: To prevent battery discharge, disconnect the "Video in a Bag" System jack from the

cigarette lighter socket when the unit is not in use.

2. Always keep the unit fastened to the front piece inside the bag using the two Velcro straps
around the bracket on both sides of the unit when it is in the bag.

3. Ensure that both the LCD Monitor, the Video Cassette Player and the Video Bag are
installed in accordance with the instructions and illustrations provided in this manual.

4. The “S” hooks and all straps must be fastened correctly to secure the unit in the vehicle
in the event of an accident.

5. Operate the "Video in a Bag" System with the Video Bag open to ensure proper ventilation
of the LCD Monitor and the Video Cassette Player.

6. Use only the approved power adapter supplied with the Video System. Always disconnect
the jack from the cigarette lighter socket or wall outlet before disconnecting the power
connector from the Video Cassette Player.

7. Do not plug or unplug the unit with wet hands. Always unplug the unit if you are not going
to use it for a long period of time.

8. Do not use chemicals such as paint thinner, solvents, ammonia or any harsh cleaners on
any part of the unit. Remove dust and stains with a damp cloth.

9. Do not attempt to remove the panel of the monitor to avoid electrical hazards.

10. Always remove the tape from the Video Cassette Player after use or when the Video System
is left in a hot or cold car for a period of time without being used. The inside of a parked
car with closed windows will heat up or cool down dramatically, which could damage tapes
if left in the VCP.

A.Installing the "Video in a Bag" System Between the Driver/Passenger

Seats

Figure 1

1. Refer to Figure 1. Take one of the straps and connect the latch to the upper metal ring on the left
side of the Video Bag. Attach the "S" hook to the same ring after looping the strap around the
headrest of the driver's seat. Repeat this process for the right side (Passenger Seat).

2. Take another strap and connect the latch to lower metal ring on the left side of the Video Bag.
Attach the "S" hook to the same ring after looping the strap around the front seat rail. Repeat this
process for the right side. In some vehicles, it may be necessary to attach the "S" connector to
the rail directly, as it may not be long enough to reach back to the ring. Also, depending on the
desired angle, you may need to attach the latch to either the front or the rear ring on the bottom
of the bag, depending on your vehicle.

3. Adjust the straps so that the Video Bag is tightly secured.
