installation options.

Precautions
• Do not operate your monitor in ways other than those
described in this manual.
• Do not play a multimedia system when the car’s engine is
turned off. Doing so runs down the car’s battery.
• Do not disassemble or modify your monitor.
• Keep moisture away from the monitor. Water and humidity
may damage internal circuitry.
• Do not let the monitor become overheated.
If the temperature in the vehicle is high or the monitor has
been exposed to direct sunlight, cool the monitor (such as,
by running the air conditioning) before you turn it on.
• Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning fluids
away from the monitor. Liquids in the monitor can damage
the electronics and result in electrical shock or fire. If the
unit becomes wet, turn off all power and contact an authorized Clarion dealer to have the monitor inspected.
• Never press on the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. You
may damage it.
Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car,
the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.
2. USING THE MONITOR
These monitors are components in a full audio/video system
that may include a VCR, DVD player, game player, camcorder,
or other video source unit.
Note:
If you have any questions about compatible components,
such as system controllers, source units, FM modulators, or
other audio/video products, please contact your authorized
Clarion dealer.
To operate the monitor, the vehicle ignition key switch must be
in the ACC or ON (run) position.
