dangerous. The manufacturer assumes
no liability whatsoever for failure to
follow the proper installation of this
product.
Please keep this manual in a safe place
for future reference.
• Do not operate this equipment while

be your highest priority.
• Do not install this product in a location
which allows the monitor screen to be
visible to the driver of the vehicle. In
some states and countries, the viewing
of images on a screen inside a vehicle
is illegal, even by people other than
the driver. Be sure that the installation
and operation of this system is in
compliance with local rules and
regulations.
• Do not open or attempt to repair this

are present which may result in electric
shock. Refer any repairs to a qualified
service technician.

broken or faulty power cord. Replace
it with a new one immediately.

What is included?
Operating precautions
Turn the unit off when it is not in use.
Avoid dropping any metal objects or
inflammable items into the monitor
ventilation slots.
Do not place objects on or suspend
objects from the power cord, as this
may damage the cord.
Installation precautions
Choose a mounting location in your
vehicle where the unit will not distract
or otherwise interfere with the driver’s
ability to control the vehicle.
Do not install components in areas
which are susceptible to rain, moisture,
direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold,
excessive dust, dirt or humidity.
If installation requires drilling holes or
other modifications to the vehicle,
consult with your nearest dealer or
professional car audio installer.
Use only the installation parts and
hardware provided with the unit to
ensure proper installation. Using other
parts can cause malfunction and
possible damage to your new video
monitor.
Use only a power source with 12 Volts
DC (negative ground).
Before final installation, temporarily
connect the wiring according to the
diagram near the end of this manual,
check it to ensure that it has been
connected properly, and test the unit
to make sure it is working correctly.
After the monitor is installed, do not
arbitrarily pull it down or strike it. This
may loosen the mounting screws and
cause it to fall down.
When first unpacking your new video
monitor, please check first that the
package contains all of the items
below. If something is missing, contact
the store where you purchased the
player.
• One pair of universal headrests
with built-in 8-inch TFT video

Remove the existing headrest from the seat.
Adjust the spacing of the posts of your new headrest monitor to match those of the
holes in the seatback. To do so, grasp one post in each hand, and push one forward
and one back while pull them apart (to increase the distance) or push them together
(to reduce the distance).
Compare the outside diameter of the new headrest posts with the holes in the seatback.
If the holes in the seatback are significantly larger than the new headrest posts, you
may need to use the adapter tubes (included). These tubes are approximately 12mm
in diameter. If needed, slide an adapter tube onto each of the headrest posts.
Insert the cable into the proper hole in the seatback and feed the cable down into the
seatback and out the bottom (if you are unable to do this properly, see a professional
mobile video installer).
Insert the headrest posts into the seatback and pull the cables from below the seat
to take up the slack. Run them to the location of the video source unit (such as a DVD
player) and connect the wires as shown in the System Wiring diagram.
