❐ 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.
