– Do not use the setup feature or any other

function which could divert your attention from the road.

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

damage to the unit. – Keep small articles out of the reach of children. – Be sure to fasten seatbelts to avoid injury in the

event of sudden movement of the car.

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 to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 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.
