2.PRECAUTIONS

•Do not operate your monitor in ways other than those described in this manual.

•Do not play a multimedia system when the car’s engine is turned off. Doing so runs down the car’s battery.

•Do not disassemble or modify the monitor.

•Keep moisture away from the monitor. Water and humidity may damage internal circuitry.

•Do not let the monitor become overheated. If the temperature in the vehicle is high or the monitor has been exposed to direct sunlight, cool the monitor (such as, by running the air conditioning) before you turn it on.

•Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning fluids, away from the monitor. Liquids in the monitor can damage the electronics and result in electrical shock or fire. If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and contact an authorized Clarion dealer to have the monitor inspected.

•Never press on the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. You may damage it.

Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car, the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.
