• Do not splash liquid onto the unit.

Notes on safety

• Comply with your local traffic rules, laws, and regulations.

• While driving – Do not watch or operate the unit, as it may lead

to distraction and cause an accident. Park your car in a safe place to watch or operate the unit.

– Do not use the setup feature or any other

function which could divert your attention from the road.

– When backing up your car, be sure to look back

and watch the surroundings carefully for your safety even if the rear view camera is connected. Do not depend on the rear view camera exclusively.

• While operating – Do not insert your hands, fingers, or foreign

objects into the unit as it may cause injury or

Notes on LCD panel

• Do not get the LCD panel wet or expose it to liquids. This may cause a malfunction.

• Do not press down hard on the LCD panel as doing so can distort the picture or cause a malfunction (i.e., the picture may become unclear or the LCD panel may be damaged).

•Do not touch the panel with objects other than with your finger as it may damage or break the LCD panel.

•Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray.

• Do not use the unit outside the temperature range 0 ºC – 40 ºC (32 ºF – 104 ºF).

•If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is not damaged and the picture will become clear after the temperature in your car becomes normal.

•Some stationary blue, red, or green dots may appear on the monitor. These are called “bright spots” and can happen with any LCD. The LCD panel is precision-manufactured with more than

99.99% of its segments functional. However, it is possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01%) of the segments may not light up properly. This will not, however, interfere with your viewing.

Notes on the touch panel

• This unit uses a resistive touch panel. Touch the panel directly with your fingertip.

•Multi-touch operation is not supported on this unit.

•Do not touch the panel with sharp objects such as a needle, pen, or fingernail. Operation with a stylus is not supported on this unit.

• Do not let any objects contact the touch panel. If the panel is touched by an object other than your fingertip, the unit may not respond correctly.

• Since glass material is used for the panel, do not subject the unit to strong shock. If cracking or chipping occurs on the panel, do not touch the damaged part as it may cause injury.

•Keep other electrical devices away from the touch panel. They may cause the touch panel to malfunction.

•Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits.

•Connect the power supply lead  to the unit and speakers before connecting it to the auxiliary power connector.

•Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

Precautions

•Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.

• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, di rt, exce ssiv e vibra tion , or hi gh temp erature , suc h as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.

• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage rating.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30°.
