Points to Observe for Safe Usage

This label is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.

This label is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.

Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or material damage.

Caution

Warning

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may lead to accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric

shock.

USE ONLY IN VEHICLES WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE (–) GROUND. Check with your dealer if you are not sure.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE (–) BATTERY TERMINAL. Failure to do so

may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.

DO NOT CUT AWAY THE WIRE SHEATH AND USE POWER FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT. Doing so may exceed the

current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION OR CREATE HAZARDS FOR

VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement.

DO NOT CONTACT, DAMAGE OR OBSTRUCT PIPES, FLUID LINES OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES. Failure

to take such precautions may result in fire or cause an accident or injuries.

DO NOT USE NUTS OR BOLTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN MAKING INSTALLATION OR GROUND

CONNECTIONS. Never use safety-related parts such as bolts or nuts in the steering or brake systems or tanks to make

wiring installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause brake failure,

other accident or injury.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. When problems occur such as a lack of sound or video, foreign

objects inside the unit, smoke coming out, or noxious odors, stop use immediately and contact the dealer where you

bought the equipment. Failure to do so may result in an accident or injury.

DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT OR LOOK AT THE SCREEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. Operating the

equipment may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause accident. Always stop the vehicle in a

safe location before operating this equipment.

DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. Ensure that the location chosen for the

monitor does not interfere with the operation of the passenger seat air bag. This will prevent the triggered air bag from

launching the display towards passengers, possible causing injury.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to do so may cause fire or accident to occur.

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED. Route the cables and wiring so as not to be crimped

by moving parts or make contact with sharp or pointed spots which might damage the wiring. Failure to do so may cause

failure of unit or vehicle.

DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside noises

while driving. Driving while unable to hear outside noises could be the cause of accident.

DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN STATED FOR THE VEHICLE. Failure to do so may

result in electric shock or injury.

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS. The wiring and installation of this unit requires special

technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this unit to have the

work done.
