Handling Precautions; Lcd Screen / General - VDO MR6000 Owner's Manual And Mounting Instructions

5. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

LCD screen / general

The following precautionary measures should be observed in order to prolong the service life:
• If the vehicle is parked in the open for long
periods, the LCD screen should be stored in
the main unit.
The LCD screen should be operated within a
temperature range of 0 to 60 °C.
• Ensure that no liquids from drinks, umbrel-
las etc. come into contact with the unit. These
could damage the internal circuits.
• The unit must not be disassembled or modi-
fied in any way. This could cause damage.
• Do not pull out the LCD screen and use as a
storage area. The LCD screen must also not
be exposed to impacts, as this can cause
breakages, deformation or other forms of
damage.
• Ensure that the screen cannot be burned by
cigarettes. This could damage or deform the
housing.
• If a fault occurs, the unit should be exam-
ined by the dealer who supplied it.
• When the screen is in the inclined position,
do not insert any objects into the gap be-
tween the LCD screen and the main unit or
reach into the gap.
Cleaning
• Cleaning the housing
Carefully wipe off the dirt using a soft, dry
cloth.
If the unit is extremely dirty, carefully wipe
off the dirt using a soft cloth soaked in a
neutral cleaning agent which has been di-
luted with water. Then wipe over using a dry
cloth.
Never use benzene, thinners, vehicle cleaner
etc., as these substances can damage the
housing or cause the paint to flake. Staining
may also be caused if the housing is in contact
with rubber or plastic products over a long
time period.
16
• When the screen is in the inclined position,
do not place any objects on the display.
• Under extremely cold conditions, the move-
ment of the screen may be slow or the screen
may be dark. These are however not faults.
These effects are eliminated when the tem-
perature increases.
• Small black and shiny points on the LCD
screen are inherent to LCD products.
• The LCD screen may switch off temporarily
during opening or closing, when the motor
is switched off or if it is cold. This is however
not a fault. If this occurs, repeat the opera-
tion.
• Cleaning the LCD screen
Dust accumulates on the LCD screen and it
should therefore be wiped regularly with a
soft cloth.
The screen surface is susceptible to scratch-
ing and contact with hard objects should
therefore be avoided.
