CAUTION

• Do not operate this product in any way other than described within this Owners Manual.
Failure to follow the instructions within it will void your warranty.

•

(i) Obstruct the driver’s vision.
(ii) Impair the performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features, including airbags.
(iii) Impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.

When using this system always make sure you are firmly secured by your seat belt, to ensure you do not

•

accidentally hit your head on the screen during sudden braking or other incidents. If you are ever in a

• Installation or servicing of this product by persons without suitable training and experience in electronic
equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous. Visit www.clarion.com.au to find your nearest
Authorised Clarion Dealer for professional installation and support.

•

To avoid draining the battery it is recommended that you not use this product for extended periods without

the vehicle engine running.

English

•
your product and will void your warranty.

• Never clean the surface of the screen with a chemical solvent or a corrosive detergent.

•

Avoid installing this product under direct sunlight or near a hot air vent. Please note that its normal working

and DVD-R/+R/DL discs are easily affected
by temperature and humidity and will not be
playable if damaged.

Therefore, do not leave them for a long time

in the car.

•

New discs may have some roughness around

the edges. If such discs are used, the player
may not work or the sound may skip.

Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove
any roughness from the edge of the disc.
