Additional Information

Maintenance

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching the amperage rating stated on the original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating exceeding the one supplied with the unit as this could damage the unit.

Replacing the lithium battery

Under normal conditions, batteries will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.) When the battery becomes weak, the range of the card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

+ side up

Notes on lithium battery

• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.

• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.

• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

About the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel

Do not press on the LCD panel on the unit as doing so can distort the picture or cause a malfunction. The picture may become unclear, or the LCD panel may be damaged.

Notes on cleaning

— Clean the LCD panel with a slightly damp soft cloth. — Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or

antistatic spray.

• Do not use the unit in temperatures under 5 °C or over 45 °C.

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

Some stationary blue or red dots may appear on the monitor. These are called bright spots, and can happen with any LCD. The LCD panel is highly sophisticated, and more than 99.99 % of the segments used in the panel are flawless. However, there is a possibility that less than 0.01 % of the segments are defective and may not light up properly.
