Upon installation of this monitor/media player (“unit”) into a vehicle, the driver of the vehicle
must not operate this unit by watching videos or playing video games while driving.
Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or
property damage.
Several states prohibit the installation of monitors/media players if the screen is visible
from the driver’s seat. If you reside in a jurisdiction which has enacted such a law, this
unit must not be installed so that the screen is visible from the driver’s seat. When
installing this unit in the front console/dashboard, the unit must be positioned so that it is
facing the front passenger seat only. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver
distraction which could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or
persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.
This unit is designed so that it may be operated only when the vehicle is in “Park” and the
parking brake is fully engaged. To this end, this unit includes a parking brake lock-out
feature which prohibits the unit from operating if the vehicle is not in “Park” and/or the
parking brake is not fully engaged. When installing this unit, the installer must connect
the parking brake detect wire to the parking brake mechanism in order to make the
parking brake lock-out feature operable. DO NOT simply ground the parking brake detect
wire to a metal portion of the vehicle. Failure to properly install the parking brake lock-
out feature could lead to driver distraction which could result in serious injury or death to
the driver’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.
Once the parking brake lock-out feature is installed, the owner/user must not attempt to
disrupt/neutralize the parking brake lock-out feature by (a) partially engaging the parking
brake and/or (b) purchasing/using any device or unit designed to send necessary brake
signals to the unit. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to driver distraction
which could result in serious injury or death to the driver’s occupants or persons outside
the vehicle and/or property damage.
When operating this unit, keep the unit’s volume level low enough so that the vehicle’s
occupants can hear traffic-related sounds such as police and emergency vehicles.
Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or
property damage.

DAC1025BT OPERATION
Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install or operate.
Due to its technical nature, it is highly recommended that your DUAL DAC1025BT is installed by a professional
installer or an authorized dealer. This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.
To prevent damage or injury:
• Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.
• Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the possibility of water splashing.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may
cause the unit to malfunction.
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.
• Use only the provided hardware and wire harness.
• You cannot view video while the vehicle is moving. Find a safe place to park and engage the parking brake.
• If you experience problems during installation, consult your nearest DUAL dealer.
• If the unit malfunctions, reset the unit as described on page 10 first. If the problem still persists, consult your
nearest DUAL dealer or call tech assistance @ 1-866-382-5476.
• To clean the monitor, wipe only with a dry silicone cloth or soft cloth. Do not use a stiff cloth, or volatile solvents
such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or remove the printing.
• When the temperature of the unit falls (as in winter), the liquid crystal inside the screen will become darker than
usual. Normal brightness will return after using the monitor for a while.
• When extending the ignition, battery or ground cables, make sure to use automotive-grade cables or other cables
with an area of 0.75mm (AWG 18) or more to prevent voltage drops.
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD is damaged or broken. The liquid crystal fluid may be hazardous
to your health or fatal. If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body or clothing, wash it off with soap
immediately.
