Installation

Before You Install

This section of the manual will help you properly set up the
mobile video player for the best performance.

Before looking at the specifics of the mobile player’s system,
please take a moment to review the following precautions:

• When in a car, the player must be powered from the
“Accessory” switch setting (i.e. not directly from the
battery). The player’s power should only be turned on
when the car’s ignition is turned on.

Note: To prevent the car’s battery from discharging,
disconnect the player’s power cable from the lighter jack
when not in use.

• Make sure to install the player according to the instructions
in this manual.

• Use only the approved power adapter supplied with your
player. Always disconnect the adapter from the lighter
socket or wall outlet before disconnecting the power cord
from the player.

• Never plug or unplug the player with wet hands. Always
unplug the unit if you are not going to use it for an
extended period of time.

• Never use chemicals such as paint thinner, solvents,
ammonia, or any other harsh cleaners on any part of the
player. Remove dust and dirt using a damp cloth.

• AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS- Never attempt to remove the
panel of the player’s LCD monitor.

• Always remove tapes from the player after use.
