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.

Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or damaged.

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.
