Improper installation could cause the product to fall and damage the vehicle or cause serious danger by impeding driving.Attach the display unit in a location which will not hinder driving.Make sure that both the display unit and the D.C.Unit are firmly attached by using screws and double-sided tape.
When installing the display unit, confirm the installation position with the customer and install it in a location which will
not hinder driving.
Caution
Warning
Do not take off the rubber covering round the target screen. The plate is sharp-edged. Reapply the rubber when it
comes off.
Confirmation
When leaving the car under the direct sunlight, cover the display unit with a white cloth. It prevents the unit from deterioration.
Before attaching units using double-sided tapes, make sure the surfaces are clean.
Do not expose the D.C.Unit and the Defi-Link Control Unit II(or the Defi-Link Control Unit) to direct sunlight.
Do not touch the Target Screen. When it is stained with dust and finger marks, remove dust from the screen with adhesive
tape. And then wipe off with care by using a soft and dry cloth so as not to scratch it.
Installation of D.C.Unit①Installation of D.C.Unit
Attach the D.C.Unit to a flat surface position such as a center console and a DIN space. Before attaching the unit using double-sided tapes, make sure the surface is clean.

Installation of the display unit and the DIM sensor⑤Installation of the display unit and the DIM sensor
1) Tighten temporarily the mounting bracket to the mounting attachment with the bolt, nut,
and washerFigure4. Use a hexagonal Allen wrench to tighten the bolt. Then unfasten screws of the mounting attachment until it rotatesFigure5.
2) Turn on the ignition of the vehicle. Locate the display unit on the instrument panel while looking at the reflecting image on the target screen. Adjust the angle and fix it by combining with the mounting attachment and the mounting bracket. After the position is located, mark it with adhesive tape. Turn off the ignition. (Refer to How to use the mounting attachment and the mounting bracket and Installation examples of the display unit.)
3) Fully tighten the screws of the mounting attachmentFigure5.
4) Dismount the mounting bracket from the display unit, and then attach the double-sided tapes on its undersurface. Bend it along the form of the instrument panel and fix it on the panel with the tapping screwsFigure5.
Before attaching the unit using double-sided tapes, make sure the position is clean.
5) Connect the DIM sensor to the connector on the backside of the display unit.
