WARNING
A LCD monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver if the LCD monitor is used for vehicle information,
system control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD monitor is used for television reception or video or DVD play,
the LCD monitor should be installed so that these features will only function when the parking brake is applied. A LCD monitor
used for television reception, video or DVD play or text data that operates when the parking break is not applied must be installed
to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the operator of the motor vehicle. This statement
should be reviewed with each state to allow for the safe and lawful use of this product while operating a vehicle.
To avoid risk of serious injury or possible violation of laws, make sure that the monitor is placed visible to the driver for no
other purpose than navigational or with the use of rear view camera only.
When Driving
The driver must not operate the LCD monitor.
(Operating the LCD monitor while driving is a distraction and may lead to an accident.)
As a safety factor, driving with the television, video or DVD player is prohibited.
Keep the unit at an appropriate sound level. Driving with the sound at a level that prevents you from hearing sounds outside
and around the car may cause an accident.

Be sure to install the LCD monitor in a position that does not obstruct the driver’s vision.
If the LCD monitor has been installed for the rear seat passengers, they must be careful to prevent injury by hitting their heads
on the LCD monitor in case of an accident.
Do not expose the LCD monitor to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Be sure not to install the LCD monitor in a location at which it is exposed to water, hot air such as near heater duct, or where it
may stepped on.
Do not install the LCD monitor in an area where it would obstruct the operation of an air bag.
