1. PRECAUTIONS

1. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even
in the event that trouble arises, never open
the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate
the rotating parts.

2. TV broadcast reception
When receiving the TV broadcasts, the
strength of the signals changes since the car

is moving, so in some cases it may not be
possible to receive clear pictures.

• TV signals are strongly linear, so reception

is affected by buildings, mountains and
other obstacles.

• Such external factors such as electric train

lines, a high voltage lines, and signal de­vices may disturb the picture or cause
noise.

∗ If the reception is poor, switch to a station with

good reception.

!

W ARNING

For your safety, the driver should not watch the TV or operate the controls while driving.
Please note that watching and operating the TV while driving are prohibited by law in
some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds
can be heard.

2. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

LCD panel/Generalities

•

Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the
main unit when parking the car outdoors for
long period of time. The LCD panel will oper­ate properly in a temperature range of 0 to
60°C.

• Don’t 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 LCD panel out and use it as
a tray. Also, subjecting the LCD 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 LCD panel and the main unit
when the panel is tilted.

• Do not place anything on the display when
the panel is tilted.

• The remote controller may not work if the re­mote control sensor is exposed to direct sun­light.

• In extremely cold weather , the displa y 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 LCD
panel are normal for LCD products.

• The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it
opens or closes, when the engine stops or
when it is cold.

Cleaning

• Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, 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 LCD panel

The LCD 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.

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
