• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a

place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechan ical shock.

choose a location in the car where the unit will not be subject to the direct rays of the sun,

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the

cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the proper operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its components.
