Warning
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. As the laser beam used in this CD/DVD player is harmful to eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
This label is located on the bottom of the chassis.
Note on the lithium battery
Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or the like.
Warning if your car’s ignition has no ACC position
Be sure to set the Auto Off function (page 39). The unit will shut off completely and automatically in the set time after the unit is turned off, which prevents battery drain. If you do not set the Auto Off function, press and hold (SOURCE/OFF) until the display disappears each time you turn the ignition off.
To cancel the demonstration (DEMO) display, see page 40.
On safety

Preventing an accident
Pictures appear only after you park the car and set the parking brake. If the car starts moving during video playback, pictures from the VIDEO OUT automatically disappear after displaying the following caution. The pictures on the screen are turned off, but audio source can be heard.
Video blocked for your safety.
