If the LCD panel or video monitor is used for television reception, video or DVD play , the LCD panel or video monitor must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in “park” or when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.

An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not applied must be installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the operator of the motor vehicle. It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle which is equipped with a 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 VOD1021 should never be installed where it will be visible, directly or indirectly , by the operator of the motor vehicle.

Warnings

Before putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position. Remember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto positions when the vehicle is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can drain the vehicle’s battery.
