RECAUTIONS
:
This set can be use in 12V, negative ground vehicles or home applications. Be sure to consult your Clarion Dealer before installing it in 24V vehicles.
Do not operate the set in ways other than described in this guide. Doing so may damage it.
• SAFETY FIRST! For rear seat use only. Do not install anywhere that permits viewing by the driver. Monitor must not be located in a motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the front seats. Monitor must never be used in any manner that will distract or interfere with driver’s safe operation of the vehicle.
Be careful not to run down the car battery while using the set with the car stopped.
For safety, install the set in a position at which the driver cannot see it.
Do not disassemble or modify the set. Doing so may damage it and voids your warranty .
Keep drinks and drops from umbrellas away from the set. Water may damage the internal circuitry.
Do not let the set become hot. If temperature in the car is high or the set has been exposed to direct sunlight and is hot, lower the temperature before using it. (The liquid crystal panel will work properly within a temperature range of 30 – 113 degrees F.)
In extremely cold temperatures, the movement of the picture may be slow and the picture may be dark. This is not a malfunction. The set will work normally once the temperature increases.
Small black and shiny dots inside the liquid crystal panel are normal for liquid crystal products.

When using this monitor in a 110Vac home environment. Plug the monitor into a 110Vac wall socket with the supplied AC power cable. Turn the rear AC Power switch to the ON position. Press the front panel’s power button to power the monitor. The monitor remembers the last input source selected and restarts using that input. The initial factory default setting is the RGB input.
NOTE: The LED will be green under normal signal input. If no input signal is
detected the monitor will display a flashing error message for that particular source. The LED will turn orange upon entering the power saving mode after five seconds.
Choose the proper input source by pressing the Input Select Button on the front of the monitor.
NOTE: In some cases, if the RGB, Video, or S-Video signal is low, the LED will
turn orange and enter a power saver mode after five seconds. This may happen if you are viewing a TV station with a very weak signal. Press the Power button on the front of the monitor to exit the power saver mode.

1. Connect the computer’s audio output (through the provided adapter cable) into
the R-AUDIO-L inputs on the VMA1891 (see diagram above for multiple component attachment).

IRINGPRECAUTIONS
(+12VDCO
PERATION
):
Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer.
Be sure to disconnect the car’s negative (-) battery terminal to prevent short circuits during installation.
• When creating passage holes through metal or plastic panels, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect power or video wires from nicks or damaged causing a possible short circuit or failure.
When connecting the ground lead, fasten the ground lead (black) securely to a clean metal plate on the vehicle. Use sandpaper to remove any paint from the surface where the ground terminal is attached.
If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.
NOTE:
This monitor’s audio section can only be power through the 110 Vac connection. When using the monitor in a +12Vdc application, additional audio components are required. See your Clarion Dealer for additional equipment.
