Operating
• Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual.
Failure to follow instructions may void the warranty.
• Do not use the unit with the ignition off. This could drain the car’s battery.
• If the internal temperature of the vehicle is extremely high (over 50 degrees
Celsius), let the unit cool down a bit before you use it.
• If the temperature in the car is very low (below -5 degrees Celsius), starting the
unit right after you start the car with its heater running may cause moisture to form
on the LCD. Turn the unit off immediately! Failure to do so may cause an electrical
short. Allow about one hour for the condensation to dissipate before using the unit.
• In extremely cold temperatures the picture may appear dark and move slowly. The
display returns to normal when the temperature rises.
• When using the system, make sure you are seated with your seat belt fastened.
Otherwise, you may hit your head on the unit if the driver breaks suddenly. In an
accident, injuries can be more severe if your seat belt is not fastened.
• Before leaving the car, eject the DVD disc and store it separately away from direct
sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage DVD discs causing them not to play.
General
• Do not leave the monitor extended when you’re not using it. Direct sunlight can
cause the monitor to malfunction.
• Do not hang onto or hang items from the overhead monitor.
• Do not pour liquid into the unit or poke foreign objects into the DVD drive slot. Water,
humidity, and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry.
• If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and ask your authorized Clarion Dealer to
clean or service the unit.
• Do not drop the unit or hit the LCD panel with a hard object. You may cause
permanent damage.
• If the LCD breaks, avoid touching the glass and fl uid. If you do touch the fl uid, clean
it off your body and/or clothes with plenty of water, then get medical attention.

Permanent damage to the screen may result.
• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. You may damage the monitor, void the
warranty, and suffer electric shock.
