SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING!

DRIVING SAFETY

•Never watch the TV/VCR or try to adjust settings while driv- ing. Doing so creates the danger of traffic accident. Before operating the TV/VCR, be sure to stop the car in a safe area.

•Never install the unit on the dashboard or in any other location where it obstructs forward vision. Items that obstruct forward vision in a motor car may be illegal. Also, make sure that all components are installed where they do not interfere with operation of the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc., for example under the driver’s seat, and where they do not endanger passengers. Improper installation creates the danger of traffic accident and personal injury.

•Make sure all cables are bundled together so they do not interfere with car operation, as described in this manual. Improperly installed cables create the danger of entangle- ment with the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

•The unit is designed for use with a 12V DC automotive power supply. Never use it in a truck, bus, or any other car that has a 24V power supply.

•Be sure to stop your car in a safe area before watching or adjusting the TV/VCR.

•Operating the TV/VCR for a long time with the engine of your car stopped can run down your car’s battery.

•Never leave the TV/VCR in areas exposed to temperature extremes or strong direct sunlight. Leaving it in a closed car, in direct sunlight, near a heater, etc. can cause

deformation of the case. Using this product in areas that are colder than 5° C (41° F) or hotter than 40° C (104° F)

can result in poor image quality.

•Never use benzene or other chemical agents for cleaning. Chemicals can damage the case and remove markings. Use a soft cloth moistened with a weak solution of water and mild neutral detergent. Wring out all excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.

•Never drop the TV/VCR or otherwise subject it to strong impact.

•Should the TV/VCR ever begin to emit smoke, abnormal odor, or a strange noise, immediately turn off power and unplug the unit from the cigarette lighter socket. Contin- ued use of the TV/VCR under any of these conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock.

•Do not continue to use the TV/VCR if it is malfunctioning and does not produce a video image or sound. Whenever you notice such symptoms, immediately turn off power, unplug the TV/VCR from the cigarette lighter socket. Continued use of the TV/VCR creates the danger of fire and electric shock.
