English

• The LCD screen should be used within

the temperature ranges shown in
Specifications on page 46.

• Do not use the LCD screen at
temperatures higher or lower than the
operating temperature range, because
the LCD screen may not operate normal ly
and could be damaged.

• The LCD screen is exposed in order to
increase its visibility within the vehicle.
Please do not press strongly on it as this
may damage it.

• Do not push the LCD screen with
excessive force as this may scratch it.

• Never touch the LCD screen with

harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

LED (light-emitting diode)
backlight

A light emitting diode is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.

• At low temperatures, using the LED
backlight may increase image lag and
degrade the image quality because of the
characteristics of the LCD screen. Image
quality will improve with an increase in
temperature.

• The product lifetime of the LED backlight
is more than 10 000 hours. However, it
may decrease if used in high
temperatures.

• If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dimmer and the image will no longer be
visible. In that case, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer
Service Station.
