Introduction
● Although the unit can be used when the ignition switch is set to either ACC or ON, to protect the battery, start the engine before using the unit.
● To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the audio system on longer than necessary when the engine is not running.
● Do not use the unit anywhere other than in a vehicle. Doing so may result in an electric shock or other injury.
● While driving, keep the volume low enough for you to hear outside sounds. Driving while not being able to hear sounds from outside the vehicle may result in an accident.
● Be careful of the volume when turning on the power. If a loud noise is emitted suddenly when you turn on the power, it may damage your hearing.
● Do not touch the hot parts of the unit. The hot parts may burn you.
● Do not use while there is an abnormality such as sound breakup or distortion. Doing so may result in a fire.
● Using the unit during extremely high or low temperature may result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In particular, the temperature inside the vehicle can often rise to a high level during the summer. Cool the vehicle, for example by opening a window, before using the unit.
● Be careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is exposed to a strong impact, because it may result in a malfunction.
● The touch buttons on the display screen may not operate correctly if condensation forms inside them. If this happens, do not attempt to operate the buttons until the condensation has disappeared.
● If juice or similar liquid is spilled on the display, wipe off immediately. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction.
● The screen is easily marked by fingerprints and tends to attract dust, and should therefore be cleaned occasionally. When cleaning, turn off the power, and wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. To remove dirt, soak a soft cloth in neutral detergent and squeeze well before wiping. Do not use a wet floor-cloth, organic solvents( benzene, ethanol, thinner, etc.), acids, or alkalis. Using such agents will result in screen deterioration. Furthermore, do not hit the screen or rub it with hard objects.
● Do not apply a strong force to the display and surrounding panels. Doing so may result in damage.
● Do not place a heavy object or apply a strong force near the display. Otherwise, a display malfunction may be caused.
● Do not apply protective film to the display. Otherwise, the display may be difficult to see or may not be operated properly.
