Operation Panel/
Generalities
For a longer service life, be sure to read the
following cautions.
• Be sure to house the operation panel inside the
main unit when parking the car outdoors for a
long period of time. The operation panel will
operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to
60°C.
• Do not allow any liquids on the set from drinks,
umbrellas, etc. Doing so may damage the
internal circuitry.
• Do not disassemble or modify the set in any
way. Doing so may result in damage.
• Do not draw the operation panel out and use it
as a tray. Also, subjecting the operation panel
to shocks may result in breakage, deformation,
or other damage.
• Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so
may damage or deform the cabinet.
• If a problem should occur, have the set
inspected at your store of purchase.
• Do not insert objects or poke in the space
between the operation panel and the main unit
when the panel is tilted.
• Do not place anything on the display when the
panel is tilted.
• The remote control unit may not work if the
remote control sensor is exposed to direct
sunlight.
• In extremely cold weather, the display
movement may slow down and the display may
darken, but this is not a malfunction. The
display will work normally when the
temperature increases.
• Small black and shiny spots inside the
operation panel are normal for LCD products.
• The operation panel may stop temporarily
when it opens or closes, when the engine stops
or when it is cold.
• The touchkeys on the display operate when
slightly touched. Do not press the touchkey
screen with much force.
• Do not push the case surrounding the touchkey
panel with much force. This may cause
malfunctioning of the touchkeys.
Cleaning
• Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth and gently wipe off the
dirt. For tough dirt, apply some neutral
detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe
off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry
cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc.,
as these substances may damage the cabinet
or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber
or plastic products in contact with the cabinet
for long periods of time may cause stains.
• Cleaning the operation panel
The operation panel tends to collect dust, so
wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The
surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with
hard objects.
