unit, and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the
unit.
❑
Do not use the product where it will be exposed to
water, moisture, or dust.
Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead
to smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially
sure that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on
rainy days.
Observe the following cautions when
installing.
❑
Refer wiring and installation to qualified service
personnel.
Installation of this unit requires special skills and experi-
ence. For maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer.

Notes on Use
Components
Liquid Crystal Panel
¡Do not strongly impact the liquid crystal panel.
¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C 
{32 °F to 104 °F}
When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the
image may not appear clearly or may move slowly.
Also, movement of the image may seem to be out of
synchronization or the image quality is not malfunc-
tion or problem.
¡In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it out
of direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.
¡Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car such
as those which occur immediately after the cars air
conditioner or heater has been turned on may cause

(droplets of water) to form and, as a result, the panel
may not work properly. Do not use the unit while these
symptoms are in evidence but leave the unit standing
