VX7528 OPERATION
WARNING
Upon installation of this Monitor/DVD 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/DVD 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 lockout 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.
