Safety precautions

• This device was made for vehicles equipped with a 12V battery. Do not use in
a large truck, cold area vehicle or any other vehicle that uses a 24V battery.
Otherwise, fires may result.
• Make sure to follow the actual traffic regulations when driving even during
route guidance. Driving your vehicle while only following route guidance
instructions may lead to traffic violations and cause accidents.
• For the sake of safety, the driver should avoid operating the unit while driving.
Operation while driving can lead to unforeseen accidents such as losing con-
trol of the vehicle. Stop the vehicle before operating the unit. When viewing
screens while driving, spend the minimum possible time with your eyes off the
road. This will distract you from the road ahead, potentially causing an acci-
dent.
• You should never register geographical points or perform memory settings
while driving the vehicle. This will distract you from the road and cause acci-
dents. Park the vehicle in a safe area before operating the device.
• Make sure to park the vehicle in a safe place and set the parking brake before
watching DVDs or videos. For safety reasons, only the sound of DVDs or vid-
eos will be emitted while the vehicle is in motion.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the disc insert slot. This may cause fires or
shocks.
• Do not disassemble or rebuild this product. Doing so may cause an accident,
fire or electrical shock.
• Do not pour water or insert foreign objects into the device. This may cause
smoke emissions, fires or shocks.
• Do not operate the product in a malfunctioning condition, for instance, when
the audio does not play. Doing so may cause an accident, fire or electrical
shock.
• When it is necessary to replace the fuse, always use a fuse of the correct rat-
ing (number of amperes). Use of fuses with higher amperage ratings may
cause a fire.
• If an abnormal situation occurs, such as foreign matter entering or liquid
splashing on the product, or smoke or a strange odor emitting from the unit,
shut off the product immediately and consult the dealer from whom you pur-
chased it. Continued operation may cause an accident, fire or electrical shock.
• Do not touch the antenna wire or the device itself whenever you hear thunder.
There is a danger of electrocution due to lightning.
