Additional Information
! If you notice smoke, a strange noise or smell,
or any other abnormal signs from the display,
turn off the power immediately and consult
your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station. Using this unit in
this condition may result in permanent da-
mage to the system.
! Do not disassemble or modify this unit, as
there are high-voltage components inside
which may cause electric shock. Be sure to
consult your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station for internal inspec-
tion, adjustments, or repairs.

Handling the display

! Never touch the screen with anything be-
sides your finger when operating the touch
panel function. The screen can scratch ea-
sily.
! When the display is subjected to direct sun-
light for a long period of time, it will be-
come very hot resulting in possible
damage to the LCD screen. You should
avoid exposing the display unit to direct
sunlight as much as possible.
! The display should be used within the tem-
perature range of –10°C to +60°C (14 °F to
140 °F).
At temperatures higher or lower than this
operating temperature range, the display
may not operate normally.
! The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-
crease its visibility within the vehicle. Do
not press it strongly on it as this may da-
mage it.
! Do not push the LCD screen forcefully as
this may scratch it.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
! Heat from the heater may damage the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may
cause moisture to form inside the display
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.
! When using a cellular phone, keep the an-
tenna away from the display to prevent dis-
ruption of the video image by the
appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
LED (light-emitting diode)
backlight
! At low temperatures, using the LED back-
light may increase image lag and degrade
the image quality due to the characteristics
of the LCD screen. Image quality will im-
prove with an increase in temperature.
! To protect the LED backlight, the display
will darken in the following environments:
— In the direct sunlight
— Near the heater vent
! 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
dark and the image will no longer be pro-
jected. In such cases, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER
Service Station.
Keeping the display in good
condition
! When removing dust from the screen or
cleaning the display, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
! When wiping the screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
