IMPORTANT NOTICES
Installation of overhead products requires careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful when working on a vehicle with side curtain air bags. Do not route wires near any portion of the side curtain air bag assemblies. This includes anchor points in A, B, C or D pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires in these areas or running wires by the side curtain air bags can prevent the side curtain air bag from fully deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If you have any question regarding routing in a vehicle, please contact Audiovox Technical support at 1-800-225-6074.
An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver only if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation or navigation. 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 and/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 seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the operator of the motor vehicle.
*** Important Notices***
When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation, insure that the ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle’s ACC wiring. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the mobile video product.
When installing this overhead monitor there should be no obstructions such as extra cabling, power chokes or any other objects placed between this overhead and supplied mounting bracket. Failure to comply may cause damage to the overhead monitor and will void the warranty.
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 lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is dirty.
• Lock the LCD screen in fully closed position when not in use.
• Before putting on headphones, always adjust the volume setting to OFF or lowest position.
• Remember to leave the dome light switch in the o or auto position when the vehicle is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can drain the vehicle battery.
• Do not put pressure on the screen.
• Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or damaged.
Safety Precautions
For safety reasons, when changing video media, it is recommended that the vehicle is not in motion, and that you do not allow children to unfasten seat-belts to change video media or make any adjustments to the system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote control, while seat-belts remain fastened. Enjoy your Audiovox entertainment system but remember that the safety of all passengers remains the number one priority.
The VODDLX10 incorporates three new features:
1)A wireless FM Modulator
2) Snap on Covers with matching Trim Rings (Black, Shale and
Pewter). Select the color that matches the interior trim.
3)Switchable M1/M2 modes (See page 3)
