Handling the display unit

•When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sun- light for a long period of time, it will become very hot resulting in possible damage to the LCD screen. When not using this unit, close the LCD panel and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as much as possible.

•The display unit should be used within the tem- perature ranges shown below.

•Operating temperature range: –14 to +122 °F

•Storage temperature range: –4 to +176 °F

•Do not use the display unit at temperatures higher or lower than the operating tempera- ture range because the display unit may not operate normally and the display unit can be damaged.

•The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not press strongly on it as this may damage it.

•Do not place anything on the LCD panel when it is deployed. Also, do not attempt to carry out angle adjustment, or open/close the LCD panel by hand. Applying strong force to the LCD panel may damage it.

•Do not push the LCD screen with much force as this may scratch it.

•Never touch the LCD screen with anything besides your finger when operating the Touch Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch easily.

•Be careful not to place anything between the LCD panel and the main body when the LCD panel is opening or closing. If an object gets between the LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may stop working.

•Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose articles of clothing which could possibly get caught between the LCD panel and the main body and cause serious injury.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

•If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air con- ditioner when it is opened, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it.

Heat from the heater may break the LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the display unit result-

ing in possible damage. Also, if the LCD panel is cooled down by the cooler, the LCD screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the LCD panel may be shortened.

•Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a problem with the display unit.

•At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be dark for a while after the power is turned on.

•The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.

•When using a portable phone, keep the antenna of the portable phone away from the display unit to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.

Keeping the LCD screen in good condition

•When removing dust from the LCD screen or cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system power off, then wipe with the supplied cloth.

•When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abra- sive chemical cleaners.

Small fluorescent tube

•A small fluorescent tube is used inside the dis- play to illuminate the LCD screen.

—The fluorescent tube should last for approx- imately 10,000 hours, depending on operat- ing conditions. (Using the display unit at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

—When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the LCD screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Sta- tion.
