2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING
For your safety, the driver should not watch the TV or operate the controls while driving. Watching the TV while driving is prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can still be heard.
1. This unit is a precision mechanism. Even if trouble occurs, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
2. TV broadcast reception When receiving TV broadcasts, the strength
of the signals changes since the car is moving, so receiving a clear picture may be impossible in some cases.
• TV signals travel by line of sight, so recep-
tion is affected by buildings, mountains and other obstacles.
• External factors such as electric train lines,
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.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

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.

Concerning the wide screen

•A wide-screen TV comes with a function for selecting various screen modes. If you select a screen mode that differs from the picture ratio of the TV program or other software media, you will not be able to view the original pictures as was originally intended. Bear this point in mind when selecting the screen mode.

Ensuring safe driving

To ensure driving safety the TV video images are only shown when the car is stopped (parking brake engaged). Always make sure the vehicle is stopped before watching the TV. (A screen image as shown in the figure appears while the vehicle is moving and only the TV audio can be heard.)

LCD panel/General items

For longer product service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
• 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 moisture or liquid from items such as drinks or umbrellas to get on the unit. 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 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 into 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 might not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.
• In extremely cold weather, the display operation may slow and the display may darken, but this is not a malfunction. The display will work normally when the temperature rises.
• Small black and shiny spots inside the LCD panel are normal on LCD products.
• The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it opens or closes, when the engine stops or when it is cold.
