The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

4. 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.

7. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

LCD panel/Generalities

For a longer 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 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.

Cleaning

• 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 display 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 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 , lea ving 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.
