Precautions continued

Care in handling

The Clarion AutoPC system is a sensitive electronic device. As with all electronic devices, care should be taken to avoid contact with extreme heat, cold, or humidity.

Operating at very cold temperatures

At extremely cold temperatures, the display screen speed may be reduced, and the display may dim. Also, the colors on the display may vary depending on the thermal condition of the unit itself or the temperature in a vehicle. These phenomena are the characteristics of the liquid crystal display and are not malfunctions.

Handling Detachable Control Panel

Also, special care should be taken when handling and storing the Detachable Control Panel (DCP). Note: The terms “control panel” and “DCP” are used interchangeably in this document to refer to the same thing.

Fully close DCP holder after DCP removal

It is dangerous to keep the DCP holder at an angle once the DCP is removed. Be sure that the DCP holder is fully closed (in the vertical position).

Operating switches and knobs

The slanted control panel may not maintain its adjusted angle if a button is pushed too hard.

Cleaning display cover

Turn power off. Clean the display cover with a lightly damp soft cloth. Do not pour or spray liquid on the display as this will damage the unit.
