Using the LCD screen
correctly
Handling the LCD screen
• When the LCD screen is subjected to direct
sunlight for a long period of time, it will
become very hot, resulting in possible
damage to the LCD screen. When not
using this navigation system, avoid
exposing it to direct sunlight as much as
possible.
• The LCD screen should be used within the
temperature ranges shown in
"Specifications" on page 126.
• Do not use the LCD screen at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating
temperature range, because the LCD
screen may not operate normally and could
be damaged.
• The LCD screen is exposed in order to
increase its visibility within the vehicle.
Please do not press strongly on it as this
may damage it.
• Do not push the LCD screen with excessive
force as this may scratch it.
• Never touch the LCD screen with anything
besides your finger when operating the
touch panel functions. The LCD screen can
scratch easily.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
• If the LCD screen is near the vent of an air
conditioner, make sure that air from the air
conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from
the heater may break the LCD screen, and
cool air from the cooler may cause moisture
to form inside the navigation unit, resulting
in possible damage.
• Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are
due to the characteristics of the LCD screen
and do not indicate a malfunction.
• The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
• When using a mobile phone, keep the
aerial of the mobile phone away from the
LCD screen to prevent disruption of the
video in the form of disturbances such as
spots or coloured stripes.

Maintaining the LCD screen
• When removing dust from the LCD screen
or cleaning it, first turn the system power
off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• When wiping the LCD screen, take care not
to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
LED (light-emitting diode) backlight
A light emitting diode is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
• At low temperatures, using the LED
backlight may increase image lag and
degrade the image quality because of the
characteristics of the LCD screen. Image
quality will improve with an increase in
temperature.
• The product lifetime of the LED backlight is
more than 10 000 hours. However, it may
decrease if used in high temperatures.
• If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dimmer and the image will no longer be
visible. In that case, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer
Service Station.
