XDVD8265 PREPARATION
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 XDVD8265 is installed by a professional
installer or an authorized dealer. This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.
Safety Notes:
The DVD video display of the in-dash unit will not operate while the vehicle is moving. This is a safety feature to
prevent driver distraction. In-dash DVD video functions will only operate when vehicle is in Park and the parking
brake is engaged. It is illegal in most states for the driver to view video while the vehicle is in motion.
To prevent damage or injury:
1. Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.
2. Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.
3. Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the possibility of water splashing.
4. Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
5. 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.
6. To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.
7. Use only the provided hardware and wire harness.
8. You cannot view video while the vehicle is moving. Find a safe place to park and engage the parking brake.
9. If you experience problems during installation, consult your nearest DUAL dealer.
10. If the unit malfunctions, press the reset button first. If the problem still persists, consult your nearest DUAL
dealer or call tech assistance @ 1-866-382-5476.
11. 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.
12. 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.
Additional notes:
1. 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.
2. 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.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations.
