Do not splash liquid onto the unit or discs.
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

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.

range 0 – 40 ºC (32 – 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.
