2. PRECAUTIONS
Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car, the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.
For questions or problems not covered in this manual, contact your local Clarion Dealer.
Operating
Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual. Failure to follow instructions may void the warranty.
Do not use the unit with the ignition off. This could drain the car’s battery.
If the internal temperature of the vehicle is extremely high (over 50 degrees
Celsius), let the unit cool down a bit before you use it.
If the temperature in the car is very low (below -5 degrees Celsius), starting the unit right after you start the car with its heater running may cause moisture to form on the LCD. Turn the unit off immediately! Failure to do so may cause an electrical short. Allow about one hour for the condensation to dissipate before using the unit.
In extremely cold temperatures the picture may appear dark and move slowly. The display returns to normal when the temperature rises.
When using the system, make sure you are seated with your seat belt fastened. Otherwise, you may hit your head on the unit if the driver breaks suddenly. In an accident, injuries can be more severe if your seat belt is not fastened.
Before leaving the car, eject the DVD disc and store it separately away from direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage DVD discs causing them not to play.
General
Do not leave the monitor extended when you’re not using it. Direct sunlight can cause the monitor to malfunction.
Do not hang onto or hang items from the overhead monitor.

VT800B/VT1000B/VT1000T/VT1500B

humidity, and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry.
If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and ask your authorized Clarion Dealer to
clean or service the unit.
Do not drop the unit or hit the LCD panel with a hard object. You may cause
permanent damage.
If the LCD breaks, avoid touching the glass and fl uid. If you do touch the fl uid, clean
it off your body and/or clothes with plenty of water, then get medical attention.
Maintenance
Do not clean the surface of the LCD with chemical solvents or corrosive detergent.
Permanent damage to the screen may result.
Do not disassemble or modify this unit. You may damage the monitor, void the
warranty, and suffer electric shock.
Installation
Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle.
If you do not have the required knowledge, experience, and/or tools to successfully complete the installation, consult an authorized Clarion Dealer about professional installation options.
