off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Cautions on the monitor:

• The monitor built in this unit has been produced with
high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots.
This is inevitable and is not considered defective.

• Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.

• Do not operate the touch panel using a ball-point
pen or similar tool with the sharp tip.

Touch the buttons on the touch panel with your

finger directly (if you are wearing a glove, take it off).

• When the temperature is very cold or very hot...

Chemical changes occur inside, causing malfunction.

–
– Pictures may not appear clearly or may move

slowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with
the sound or picture quality may decline in such
environments.

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.
