Liquid Crystal Panel¡Storage temperature range: – 20 °C to 80 °C 
{– 4 °F to 176 °F}
When the liquid crystal panel reaches high temperatures
or low temperatures, chemical changes occur within the
liquid crystal panel which may cause malfunctions.¡Do not strongly impact the liquid crystal panel.¡When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the
image may not appear clearly or may move slowly. Also,
movement of the image may seem to be out of synchro-
nization or the image quality is not malfunction or prob-
lem.¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C 
{32 °F to 104 °F}
There may be red spots, blue spots and green spots on
the panel surface. This is a characteristic of liquid crys-
tal panels and is not a problem. The liquid crystal panel
is built with very high precision technology and has at
least 99.99% effective image pixels. Be aware that on
0.01% of the panel there may be missing pixels or con-
stantly light pixels.¡In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it out of
direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.¡Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car such
as those which occur immediately after the cars air
conditioner or heater has been turned on may cause
over due to water vapor or it may cause condensation
(droplets of water) to form and, as a result, the panel
may not work properly. Do not use the unit while these
symptoms are in evidence but leave the unit standing
for about and hour, and then resume or start use.
This system is designed so that you
cannot see moving pictures while you
are driving.¡Park your car in a safe and pull the side brake
(parking brake) lever before watching the moni-
tor.
¡A rear monitor (option) displays moving pic-
tures while driving.Note: 
¡Be sure to connect the side brake (parking
brake) connection lead. (aInstallation
