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
VOD1048 should never be installed where it will be visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor
vehicle
. Patent NOS. 5,775,762 and 5,927,784
Warnings
Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the video monitor.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen. Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth
to wipe the screen if it is dirty. Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use. 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. Do not put pressure on the screen. Caution children to avoid touching or
scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or damaged.
Television Reception
This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing prerecorded 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 signal strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent with home TV
reception. Reception may be affected by weather and distance from TV station. A weak signal may cause
the picture to roll, be snowy, or cause some color loss.

Please NOTE: Installation options vary; see the individual owner's manuals for each component in your
