Installation Before Installing Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor. • The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation, system control or vehicle information. If the monitor will be used for other purposes, it should be installed in such a way that it will only operate while the vehicle is not moving (such as when the parking brake is in use).
2. Attach the monitor to the fi xture using the attachments on the back of the monitor, shown in the following diagram. Note: Use only a Planar-approved mounting bracket for in-vehicle use. Mounting bracket and hardware are not included with the monitor, and must be obtained separately.

Cleaning the Monitor Clean the monitor’s touchscreen periodically to keep the display image bright and sharp, and to keep the touchscreen functions working properly. • Always turn off the monitor before cleaning. • Clean the touchscreen only with a dry soft cloth.
