Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.
This label is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions.
Caution
Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or material damage.
Warning
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may lead to accident, fire or electric shock.
KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.
USE ONLY IN VEHICLES WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE (–) GROUND. Check with your dealer if
you are not sure. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE (–) BATTERY TERMI-
NAL. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
KEEP ELECTRICAL CABLES TOGETHER TO AVOID OPERATING HAZARDS. Arrange wiring
and cables in compliance with the installation manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables
or wiring that obstructs or hangs up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake
pedals can be extremely hazardous.
DO NOT CUT AWAY THE WIRE SHEATH AND USE POWER FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT. Doing
so may exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION OR
CREATE HAZARDS FOR VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or
hamper movement.
DO NOT CONTACT, DAMAGE OR OBSTRUCT PIPES, FLUID LINES OR WIRING WHEN
DRILLING HOLES. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire or cause an accident or
injuries.
DO NOT USE NUTS OR BOLTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN MAKING INSTALLATION OR
GROUND CONNECTIONS. Never use safety-related parts such as bolts or nuts in the steering or
brake systems or tanks to make wiring installations or ground connections. Using such parts
could disable control of the vehicle and cause brake failure, other accident or injury.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. When problems occur such as a lack of
sound or video, foreign objects inside the unit, smoke coming out, or noxious odors, stop use
immediately and contact the dealer where you bought the equipment. Failure to do so may result
in an accident or injury.
DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT OR LOOK AT THE SCREEN WHILE DRIVING THE
VEHICLE. Operating the equipment may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and
cause accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before operating this equipment.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. If the unit is not
installed correctly the air bag may not function correctly and when triggered the air bag may cause
the monitor to spring upwards causing an accident and injuries.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to do so may cause fire or accident to occur.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED. Route the cables and wiring
so as not to be crimped by moving parts or make contact with sharp or pointed spots which might
damage the wiring. Failure to do so may cause failure of unit or vehicle.
DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY. Keep the volume at a level where you can still
hear outside noises while driving. Driving while unable to hear outside noises could be the cause
of accident.
DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN STATED FOR THE VE-
HICLE. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS. The wiring and installation of
this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the
dealer where you purchased this unit to have the work done.
Caution
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY. Use of other than
designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place as
parts that come loose can create hazards.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST. A high incidence of
moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may cause smoke or fire.
