BEFORE USE

Information on Disposal of Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Batteries (applicable for EU countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems)

Products and batteries with the symbol (crossedout wheeled bin) cannot be disposed as household waste. Old electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should be recycled at a facility capable of handling these items and their waste byproducts. Contact your local authority for details in locating a recycle facility nearest to you. Proper recycling and waste disposal will help conserve resources whilst preventing detrimental effects on our health and the environment. Notice: The sign “Pb” below the symbol for batteries indicates that this battery contains lead.

For Israel

V Cautions on the monitor:

• The monitor built into 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 a 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.

For s afety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will make driving dangerous by blocking outside sounds, and may cause hearing loss.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car...

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.
