Safety Information - Clarion VTM1 Owner's Manual

Safety Information

• Do not operate this product in any way other than described within this Owners Manual.
Failure to follow the instructions within it will void your warranty.
• SAFETY FIRST! Do not install the display where it may:
(i) Obstruct the driver's vision.
(ii) Impair the performance of any of the vehicle's operating systems or safety features, including airbags.
(iii) Impair the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle.
• When using this system always make sure you are firmly secured by your seat belt, to ensure you do not
accidentally hit your head on the screen during sudden braking or other incidents. If you are ever in a
vehicle accident, injuries can be more severe if your seat belt is not properly buckled.
• Installation or servicing of this product by persons without suitable training and experience in electronic
equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous. Visit www.clarion.com.au to find your nearest
Authorised Clarion Dealer for professional installation and support.
• To avoid draining the battery it is recommended that you not use this product for extended periods without
the vehicle engine running.
• Do not disassemble or alter this product in any way. Failure to observe this warning can cause damage to
your product and will void your warranty.
• Never clean the surface of the screen with a chemical solvent or a corrosive detergent.
Doing so may cause permanent damage to the TFT LCD screen.
• Avoid installing this product under direct sunlight or near a hot air vent. Please note that its normal working
temperature is from -5°C to +50°C. If the internal temperature of the vehicle is extremely high, a short
cooling down period is necessary before operating the product.
• If the temperature inside the car is very low and the monitor is used soon after switching on the heater,
moisture may form on the TFT LCD panel. Turn off the unit immediately! Failure to do so may cause the
internal components to short circuit. Allow the unit to rest to allow the condensation to disappear before
you continue operation.
• In extremely cold temperatures, movement of the picture may be slow and the image may appear dark.
This is typical of a TFT LCD and not a malfunction. Correct operation will resume once the unit reaches
its normal operating temperature range.
• Do not drop or hit the TFT LCD panel with a hard object, as it may cause permanent damage.
Should the TFT LCD panel break, avoid touching the glass and/or fluid. If you injure yourself as a result
of such contact clean the wound with plenty of water and seek immediate medical attention.
• Due to different vehicle specifications, please kindly ensure that the display monitor is properly located
and not obstructing any air-conditioning vent/s.
• Avoid inserting any foreign objects into the slot of the disc player. Failure to observe this will void your
warranty and cause damage to the mechanism of this unit.
• Protect your Media! Heat & humidity can cause damage. Remove any USB Key, SD card and eject
any disc from your VTM1 before departing from your vehicle and store them away from direct sun light.
• It is also wise to close the LCD panel when you leave your vehicle to minimise possible screen damage.
• During installation use the supplied screws to fix the VTM1 Metal Mounting Plate.
