side observation and navigation. If used for entertainment purpose, such as television recep-
tion or video play, it must be installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be

interior of the car cool down before switching the unit on.
Do not watch the LCD monitor with the engine off.  It will consume battery power and
may prevent the engine from starting.

For Installation
Be sure to install the LCD monitor in a position that does not obstruct the driver’s vision.
If the LCD monitor has been installed for the rear seat passengers, they must be careful to
prevent injury by hitting their heads on the LCD monitor in case of an accident.
Do not expose the LCD monitor to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Be sure not to install the LCD monitor in a location at which it is exposed to water, hot air
such as near heater duct, or where it may stepped on.
Do not install the LCD monitor in an area where it would obstruct the operation of an air
bag.
Ask a trained technician to install the unit.  Installation and wiring require training and
experience.

CAUTION
Handling the Touchscreen
Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed ob-
jects (e.g., nails), hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Do not apply pressure within 5 mm of the perimeter of the display panel.  The cursor may
move to the edge of the display.
Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen, or allow contact
with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil.  The cursor may not work
properly in such cases.
When the touchscreen becomes dirty:
Use a dry soft cloth such as a gauze to clean the dirty areas.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or disinfectant- type alcohol.
The touchscreen function can not be used when using the full screen in [Command
Prompt].
When the operation of panning is performed, the touchscreen function will not work
properly.
If a change is made to the screen resolution, or the cursor can not be pointed correctly
with the finger or stylus, be sure to perform calibration.
