Turning Power On or Off

Some of this unit's functions cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. Be sure to stop your vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake, before attempting these operations.

1 Press SOURCE/POWER to turn on the unit.

The opening screen appears automatically.

The unit can be turned on by pressing any button on the unit

except the FLAT/SLIDE, OPEN/CLOSE , TILT and c (Eject).

2 Press and hold SOURCE/POWER for at least 2 seconds to turn off the unit.

The IVA-D901 draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-D901 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the battery may be discharged. If this lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time.

An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back ON before using the IVA-D901. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the "Connection Diagram of SPST switch" (page 70).

Some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, be sure to first stop your vehicle and apply the parking brake, then perform the operation.

Before attaching the front panel, make sure that there is no dirt or dust on the connector terminals and no foreign object between the front panel and the main unit.

Attach the front panel carefully, holding the sides of the front panel to avoid pushing buttons by mistake.

Initial System Start-Up

Immediately after installing or applying power to the unit, it should be initialized. To do this, first, remove the detachable front panel. Behind the front panel, to the left of the connector, there is a small hole.

Using a pencil or other pointed object, press the reset switch mounted behind this hole to complete the initialization procedure.

RESET switch

Any of the buttons does not function while the monitor is closing by reset.

Raising/Lowering the Monitor

Press OPEN/CLOSE.

The unit beeps 3 times and raises (or lowers) the monitor automatically.

The IVA-D901 is a precision device. With gentle handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time.

If the monitor touches an obstacle while it is being raised (or lowered), the unit will stop raising (or lowering) the monitor immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press OPEN/CLOSE again to lower the monitor.

When the movable monitor is opened, do not place any object on the monitor and be careful not to bump or apply any pressure to the monitor while it is open. This can cause damage to the mechanism.

In low ambient temperature conditions, the display may be dark for a short period of time immediately after the power is turned on. Once the LCD has warmed up, the display returns to normal.

For your safety, some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, first stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake, then perform the operation.

Operation of the remote control (pages 52-55) can be carried out even while the monitor screen is closed.
