DVD Multimedia Receiver

with UltraMotion™ Display

The DVD video display of the in-dash unit will not operate while the vehicle is moving. This is a safety feature

to prevent driver distraction. In-dash DVD video functions will only operate when vehicle is in Park and the

parking brake is engaged. It is illegal in most states for the driver to view video while the vehicle is in motion.

Safety Notes:

INSTALLATION/OWNER'S

MANUAL

AXV3D

Upon installation of this Monitor/DVD player (“unit”) into a vehicle, the driver of the

vehicle must not operate this unit by watching videos or playing video games while

driving. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which

could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside

the vehicle and/or property damage.

Several states prohibit the installation of monitors/DVD players if the screen is

visible from the driver’s seat. If you reside in a jurisdiction which has enacted such

a law, this unit must not be installed so that the screen is visible from the driver’s

seat. When installing this unit in the front console/dashboard, the unit must be

positioned so that it is facing the front passenger seat only. Failure to follow this

instruction could lead to driver distraction which could result in serious injury or

death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or property

damage.

This unit is designed so that it may be operated only when the vehicle is in “Park”

and the parking brake is fully engaged. To this end, this unit includes a parking

brake lock-out feature which prohibits the unit from operating if the vehicle is not in

“Park” and/or the parking brake is not fully engaged. When installing this unit, the

installer must connect the parking brake detect wire (“Pink Lead”) to the parking

brake mechanism in order to make the parking brake lock-out feature operable. DO

NOT simply ground the parking brake detect wire to a metal portion of the vehicle.

Failure to properly install the parking brake lock-out feature could lead to driver

distraction which could result in serious injury or death to the driver’s occupants or

persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.

Once the parking brake lock-out feature is installed, the owner/user must not

attempt to disrupt/neutralize the parking brake lock-out feature by (a) partially

engaging the parking brake and/or (b) purchasing/using any device or unit designed

to send necessary brake signals to the unit. Failure to follow these instructions

could lead to driver distraction which could result in serious injury or death to the

driver’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.

When operating this unit, keep the unit’s volume level low enough so that the

vehicle’s occupants can hear traffic-related sounds such as police and emergency

vehicles. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which

could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside

the vehicle and/or property damage.

WARNING

PREPARATION

Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install or operate.

Due to its technical nature, it is highly recommended that your Axxera AXV3D is installed by a professional installer

or an authorized dealer. This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.

To prevent damage or injury:

• Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.

• Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.

• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the possibility of water splashing.

• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.

• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may

cause the unit to malfunction.

• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.

• Use only the provided hardware and wire harness.

• You cannot view video while the vehicle is moving. Find a safe place to park and engage the parking brake.

• If you experience problems during installation, consult your nearest Axxera dealer.

• If the unit malfunctions, reset the unit as described on page 9 first. If the problem still persists, consult your

nearest Axxera dealer or call tech assistance @ 1-866-382-5476.

• To clean the monitor, wipe only with a dry silicone cloth or soft cloth. Do not use a stiff cloth, or volatile solvents

such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or remove the printing.

• When the temperature of the unit falls (as in winter), the liquid crystal inside the screen will become darker than

usual. Normal brightness will return after using the monitor for a while.

• When extending the ignition, battery or ground cables, make sure to use automotive-grade cables or other cables

with an area of 0.75mm (AWG 18) or more to prevent voltage drops.

• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD is damaged or broken. The liquid crystal fluid may be hazardous to

your health or fatal. If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body or clothing, wash it off with soap

immediately.
