3. PRECAUTIONS

English

WARNING

• Do Not Back Up Vehicle While Relying Only on the Monitor Image

The rear-view monitor should be considered an auxiliary device meant to help confirm the presence of obstacles, but its field of view is limited. Always back the vehicle only after confirming with the naked eye that it conditions are safe. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage to persons or objects lying outside the camera’s field of view.

• Use Slow Speeds When Backing Up

The rear-view camera utilizes a wide-angle lens, with the result that the actual distance to obstacles may be less than the perceived onscreen distance; backing up quickly may result in a serious accident involving damage or injuries to property or persons.

• Always Park in a Safe Area When Viewing Television or Videos

To prevent distraction to the driver, vehicular video devices are designed to operate only when the vehicle is stopped and the parking brake applied.

• Do Not Attempt to Disassemble or Modify this Device

Disassembly may result in accidents, fire, or electrical shock.

CAUTION

• The rear-view monitor image has the same right-left inversion as your vehicle’s rearview mirrors. Depending on the vehicle, the field and angle of view may differ.

• Do not attempt to use this device for applications other those for which it was designed.

Electrical shock or other injury may result.

• Never attach or detach cables and wires while the system is operating, since accidents may result. Always turn off the vehicle’s power (ACC-OFF) before connecting or disconnecting cables.

• This component is a video monitor; it does not operate alone, and must be combined with separately purchased power supply box and CCD camera.

• The miniature fluorescent tubes installed in this type of LCD panel are considered consumable parts. If the screen image appears dark or flickers, the tubes may require replacement (median lifetime is about 5,000 hours).

Handling Precautions

■

Regarding the LCD screen

• In very cold climates, the screen updating may become slower or the image may appear darker than usual; this is not a malfunction. Operation should return to normal when the temperature rises.

• Small black or bright pixel points may appear within the LCD, but this is a characteristic of LCD monitors, and not a malfunction.

• The LCD panel is easily scratched, so do not rub or strike it with hard objects.

• Do not leave the LCD panel while it is wet, since discoloration or stains may occur, or moisture may invade the interior of the unit, resulting in damage. In the event water drops are splashed on the unit, wipe them away with cotton or soft cloth.

• During summer months, temperatures inside a vehicle may rise precipitously; in such cases, allow the vehicle interior to cool before using the unit. The permissible temperature range during use is 0 ˚C to 40 ˚C.

Care of the Enclosure

English

Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. In event of severe soiling, dip a soft cloth in a diluted detergent solution and wipe the unit, finishing by drying with a soft dry cloth.

Note:

• Do not use chemically impregnated cleaning cloths or solutions meant for automobile interiors, since they may cause deformation or peeling of the monitor case. Also, do not allow rubber or vinyl objects to remain in contact with the cabinet for extended periods of time, since they may leave stains.

■

Cleaning the LCD screen

Dust adheres easily to the screen, so occasional dusting with a soft cloth is recommended.

Note:

• Never use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemical cleaners to clean the screen.

screen brightness (DIMMER) controls are supported.

The screen brightness (DIMMER) function can be adjusted separately for the vehicle’s parking lamp switch positions.
