For Used in Motor Vehicle

Warning: A LCD monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver only if used to support vehicle related functions such as vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation and navigation. If used for entertainment purpose, such as television reception or video play, it 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. Check with individual state/provincial laws to determine lawful use of this product while operating within a motor

vehicle.

CAUTION

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.

Precautions

When Car Washing

Do not expose the LCD monitor to water or excessive moisture. This could cause electrical shorts, fire or other damage.

When Parked

Parking in direct sunlight can produce very high temperatures inside your car. Let the interior of the car cool down before switching the unit on. Do not watch the LCD monitor with the engine off. It will consume battery power and may prevent the engine from starting.

Use Panasonic Technical Support

Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust this precision product. Contact Panasonic Technical Support.

For Installation

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. Ask a trained technician to install the unit. Installation and wiring require training and experience. To be safe, ask the sales outlet where you purchased the unit to perform the installation.

When Operating

Make sure the LCD monitor is firmly secured and protected from strong impact, because this may cause a malfunction or possible fire.
