A LOCATION WHICH OBSTRUCTS
DRIVING, VISIBILITY, SAFETY
DEVICE FUNCTION SUCH AS AIR
BAGS OR WHICH IS PROHIBITED
BY APPLICABLE LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.
• There may be legal regulations defining
the permissible installation locations for
the monitor which differ by country or by
state. Be sure to install the monitor in a
correct location according to such laws.
• The driver must not operate the monitor
while driving.
* Stop your vehicle in a safe location before
operating the monitor.
• The driver must not watch the television or
playback pictures while driving.
If the driver does it while driving, it may
lead to carelessness and cause an accident.
• Keep the monitor at an appropriate sound
level while driving.
Driving with the sound at a level that
prevents you from hearing sounds outside
of and around the vehicle may cause an
accident.
• Be sure not to let the monitor fall or be
strongly impacted since this may cause a
malfunction or fire.
• Do not use the monitor with the engine off.
Doing so will consume battery power and
may prevent the engine from starting.
• When not in use, close the liquid crystal
panel and store it into the compartment.
• Do not touch the surface of the liquid
crystal panel directly.
• Do not hang any
object on the
monitor or hang
down, as this
may damage the
monitor.
CAUTION:
This monitor should be used on DC 12 V
only. To prevent electric shocks and fire
hazards, DO NOT use any other power
source.
CAUTION on volume setting:
Discs produce very little noise compared
with other sources. Lower the volume
before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the
output level.
CAUTIONS on the supplied headphones
—KS-HP2:
• DO NOT leave the headphones in a place
exposed to direct sunlight for a long
time, such as a dashboard, as they may be
damaged.
• Keep the headphones away from a cellular
phone to avoid interference.
• DO NOT turn off the power with the
volume set at high level, as the sudden
blast of sound can damage your hearing
and/or headphones next time you use the
headphones.
• If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce volume or stop using the
headphones.
CAUTION:
DTS sound cannot be reproduced.

Precautions
Cautions for handling the liquid crystal panel
Do not expose the liquid crystal panel to direct
sunlight.
• Storage temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
+85°C
–40°C
–40°C to +85°C
During the summer,
temperatures can
reach as high as
100°C.
When the liquid crystal panel reaches high
temperatures or low temperatures, chemical
changes occur inside the panel, which may
cause it to malfunction.
The red spots, blue spots and green spots on
the panel surface are a normal characteristic of
liquid crystal panels, and not a problem.
Spots
Do not drop the liquid crystal panel or strike
it sharply.
When the temperature is very cold or very
hot, the image may not appear clearly or may
move slowly.
The image may not be synchronized with
the sound or the image quality may decline
in such environments. Note that this is not a
malfunction or problem.
• Usage temperature range: –20°C to +60°C
Note:
The liquid crystal panel is built with very
high precision technology and has at least
99.99% effective image pixels. Be aware that
on 0.01% of the panel there may be missing or
constantly lit pixels.
When you watch the screen at an angle, the picture might not be clear. This is not a malfunction.
The finest picture can be seen when you watch the screen straight-on.
