an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. Keep the unit away
from strong magnets, heat sources, direct sunlight, excessive dust.
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, mois-
ture may condense inside the unit. When you move it from a cold

tened correctly to secure the system in the vehicle. Operate the
“Video in a Bag” System with the bag open to ensure proper venti-
lation of the monitor and the DVD player. The system is intended to
