❐ Listening Caution ❐ Precautions
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous
extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce vol-
ume or discontinue use.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily dis-
continue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones is an open-air
type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t
turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear
what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥ Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
≥ Set the dial and leave it there.
When Parked
≥ Parking in direct sunlight can produce very high
temperatures inside your car. Give the interior a
chance to cool down before switching the unit on.
≥ Do not watch the monitor with the engine off. It
will consume battery power and may prevent the
engine from starting.
Use the Proper Power Supply
≥ This product is designed to operate with a 12 V,
negative ground battery system (the normal sys-
tem in a North American car).
Use Authorized Servicenters
≥ Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust this pre-
cision product. Please refer to the Servicenter list
included with this product for service assistance.
When Operating
≥ Be sure not to let the unit fall or be strongly
impacted since this may cause a malfunction or
fire.
≥ Caution children to avoid hanging the monitor.
≥ The driver should not attempt to operate the dis-
play unit.
≥ To operate this unit, do not take hold of display
unit by any of its corners.
≥ Take care not to bump your head against this unit
when opening or closing the display unit or when
getting up in the back seat.
When not using the unit
≥ Be sure to switch the unit to off when closing the
display.
≥ Lock the monitor in the fully closed position.
≥ Vibration of the car or some other factor may
cause this unit to malfunction unless the display
unit is locked.
≥ If the display unit cannot be locked, be absolutely
sure to consult your dealer and remedy the situa-
tion.
Room lights
≥ Remember to leave the room light switch in the
off.

Use this Product Safely
≥ Where and how this unit is installed differs
according to the car model concerned. As such,
the information contained in this installation
guide is designed for professional installers and
is not intended for non-technical individuals.
≥ Be sure to install the monitor in a position that
does not obstruct the driver’s vision.
≥ If the monitor has been installed for the rear
seat passengers, they must be careful to prevent
injury by hitting their heads on the monitor in
case of an accident.
≥ Do not install the unit in an area where it would
obstruct the operation of an air bag.
≥ Ask a trained technician to install the unit.
Installation and wiring require training and
experience.
To be safe, ask the sales outlet where you pur-
chased the unit to perform the installation.
≥ Be absolutely sure to install this unit in accor-
dance with the safety installation diagram.
≥ Use with 12 V DC negative ground car.
This unit is only for use with a 12 V DC negative
ground car. It cannot be used in large trucks or
diesel cars which are 24 V DC car. If it is used in
the wrong type of car, it may cause a fire or an
accident.
❐ Cautions for the Liquid Crystal
Panel
≥ Do not leave the liquid crystal panel surface facing
upwards.
Storage temperature range: j4 xF to 176 xF
(j20 xC to 80 xC)
When the liquid crystal panel reaches high tem-
peratures or low temperatures, chemical changes
occur within the liquid crystal panel which may
cause malfunctions.
≥ Do not strongly impact the liquid crystal panel.
≥ When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the
image may not appear clearly or may move slow-
ly. Also, movement of the image may seem to be
out of synchronization or the image quality may
decline in such environments. Note that this is not
a malfunction or problem.
Usage temperature range: 32 xF to 104 xF
(0 xC to 40 xC)
≥ There may be red spots, blue spots and green
spots on the panel surface. This is a characteristic
of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem. The
liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision
technology and has at least 99.99 % effective
image pixels. Be aware that on 0.01 % of the panel
there may be missing pixels or constantly light
pixels.
Spots
❐ Installation Examples
WARNING:
The driver must not operate the color LCD monitor. Operating the color LCD monitor may lead to distrac-
tion and cause an accident. Stop your car in a safe location when operating the unit.
❐ Infrared Wireless Stereo
Headphones
≥ There may be breaks in the sound or noise may
be heard if the headphones are used at a dis-
tance from this unit (display) or if obstructions
block the infrared rays. These problems are
caused by characteristics which are inherent to
infrared rays, and thus are not indicative of any
malfunctioning.
≥ Make sure that the infrared sensor window is
not covered by your hands or hair.
≥ Since these headphones use infrared rays for
operation, avoid using them in direct sunlight.
≥ Avoid using these headphones in the following
location since they can cause malfunctioning.
• Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.
≥ Do not drop these headphones or otherwise
subject them to strong impact.
≥ Do not expose these headphones to the rain or
water. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
Precautions for listening with the headphones
