Warnung und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen

Achtung

Verwenden Sie unter keinen Umständen eine Sicherung mit einem höheren Ampere-Wert als dem der Sicherung, die ursprünglich mit dem Gerät geliefert wurde. Andernfalls kann es zu Schäden am Gerät kommen.

Austauschen der Sicherung

Wenn Sie eine Sicherung austauschen, achten Sie darauf, eine Ersatzsicherung mit dem gleichen Ampere-Wert wie die Originalsicherung zu verwenden. Dieser ist auf der Originalsicherung angegeben. Wenn die Sicherung durchbrennt, überprüfen Sie den Stromanschluß, und tauschen Sie die Sicherung aus. Brennt die neue Sicherung ebenfalls durch, kann eine interne Fehlfunktion vorliegen. Wenden Sie sich in einem solchen Fall an Ihren SonyHändler.

Sicherung

Sicherheitsmaßnahmen

• Montieren Sie den Monitor nicht an einer Stelle, an der er die Sicht des Fahrers behindert.

• Berühren Sie während eines Unwetters nicht gleichzeitig die Fernsehantenne und den Monitor. Andernfalls besteht die Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlags.

• Wenn Sie das Fahrzeug längere Zeit in direktem Sonnenlicht parken, kann die Temperatur im Wageninneren erheblich ansteigen. Lassen Sie das Gerät in diesem Fall etwas abkühlen, bevor Sie es einschalten.

Sollten an Ihrem Gerät Probleme auftreten oder sollten Sie Fragen haben, auf die in dieser Anleitung nicht eingegangen wird, wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren Sony-Händler.

Sicherheitsfunktion zur Vermeidung von Unfällen

Das Fernseh- bzw. Videobild erscheint erst, nachdem Sie das Fahrzeug geparkt und die Parkbremse betätigt haben. Sobald sich das Fahrzeug in Bewegung setzt, wird das Fernseh- bzw. Videobild aus Sicherheitsgründen automatisch ausgeblendet. Zuvor wird 5 Sekunden lang die folgende Warnung angezeigt.

PICTURE OFF

FOR

YOUR SAFETY

Bedienen Sie, während Sie fahren, nicht die an den Fernsehtuner angeschlossenen Geräte, und sehen Sie nicht auf den Monitor. Wenn Sie sich von dem Bild auf dem Monitor ablenken lassen, besteht Unfallgefahr!

Beachten Sie auch das Straßenverkehrsgesetz in Ihrem Land.
