Observe the following cautions when handling
the batteries for the remote control unit.
Proper Use of the Batteries
≥ Remote control unit: Lithium battery (CR2025/1F)
≥ IR Wireless Headphones: Manganese R03, AAA,
UM-4 dry cells
≥ Improper use of batteries may cause
overheating, an explosion or ignition, resulting
in injury or a fi re. Battery leakage may damage
the product.
≥ Do not mix old and new batteries. (IR Wireless
Headphones)
≥ Do not use alkaline dry cells or rechargeable
type batteries. (There is the danger of liquid
leakage.)
≥ Do not recharge, disassemble, deform or heat
the batteries. Do not put them in fi re or water.
Do not place them in contact with metal objects.
≥ Do not leave the battery or the remote control
unit containing the battery in places where the
temperature is extremely high (such as inside
cars with all the windows closed, or inside the car
trunk, places where the sun shines directly on it, or
near the heater). Such misuse/abuse can cause the
batteries to burst, rupture, leak or overheat causing
fi re and damage to property or injury.
≥ Only use the specifi ed batteries.
≥ Insert the batteries with the + and - ends as
shown on the battery case.
≥ Immediately replace used up batteries.
≥ When not using the remote control unit for a
long period of time, remove the battery.
≥ Insulate the batteries when disposing of or
storing them. (Put them in a plastic bag or wrap
them with tape or something.)
≥ Obey local ordinances when disposing of the
batteries.
What to do if a battery has leaked (R03, AAA,
UM-4 dry cells)
≥ Carefully wipe up all the electrolyte on the
battery case, and then replace the leaking battery
with a new one.
≥ If your body or clothing has made contact with
the electrolyte, wash it off thoroughly with water.
≥ If some of the electrolyte should fi nd its way
into your eyes, do not rub them but immediately
wash them with water, and consult a doctor.

with your body. After use, be absolutely sure to
disconnect it from the product.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident and/or injury.
q Before connecting the product with another
device, consult the operating instructions
of the device concerned to ensure that the
product and device will be connected properly.
Incorrect connections may cause accidents
and/or malfunctioning.
Observe the following cautions when
replacing the bulb of the dome light.
≥ Have the dome light replaced by a qualifi ed
specialist.
≥ While you are replacing a bulb, be absolutely
sure to keep the dome light switch at OFF.
Otherwise, you may burn yourself.
≥ The bulb is very hot to touch while it is lighted
and immediately after it has gone off.
≥ Before attempting to replace it, turn the dome
light switch off, wait several minutes and then
check that it cooled off.
≥ Use a bulb with the specifi ed ratings (12 V/5 W).
Do not use any other bulb.
≥ Gripping the bulb with too much force may
break it. Wear fi ngerstalls or use some other
anti-slip method when replacing it.
Observe the following cautions when
installing.
q Do not damage the cords.
Wire breaks and short circuits can cause
electrical shock or fi re.
Run the cords so that they do not get tangled in
the moving parts (such as the seat rails), screws
or car body.
Do not damage, pull too hard, fold, twist, or
work on the cords. Do not place the cords near
heating appliances or put heavy objects on the
cords.
q Install the monitor in a position where it will
not hit anybody's head when it opens and
closes.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident and/or injury.
q Take care not to injure your fi ngers with the
power drill or other tool you are using. Also
take care not to damage the wiring near the
ceiling panel.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident, injury and/or malfunctioning.
q Do not poke your fi ngers between the ceiling
and this product.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
injury and/or malfunctioning of the product.
q Wear gloves for installation work to protect
yourself from injuries.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident and/or injury.
q Take care that the wiring is not pinched or
caught by the base plate attached to the roof
or any other parts.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident and/or injury.
q Before installing the unit, be absolutely sure to
check that the screws do not make any contact
with the ceiling panel.
If some space is required between the base plate and
the unit, attach and adjust the under cover. For details
on installing the under cover, consult your dealer.
q Wear goggles or protective eyewear to shield
your eyes from airborne metal particles during
drilling.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident and/or injury.
q As you cut the headliner, take care not to cut
your fi ngers. Also take care not to damage any
other areas of the headliner.
Failure to heed this caution may result in an
accident and/or injury.
q When fi tting the product, using the supplied
base plate, please ensure that it is properly
secured to avoid excessive vibration or the
chance of the product coming loose and
causing an accident.
q The metal plate, screws and nuts required to
attach the base plate are not supplied.
The parts required for attaching the product
differ depending on the vehicle type. Consult a
professional technician for more details, and
always have a professional technician wire
and install the product for you.
q Follow local rules and regulations for
installing the unit.
Observe the following cautions for
connections.
≥ To prevent damage to the unit, be sure to follow
the connection diagram.
≥ Do not connect the power connector to the unit
until the wiring is completed.
≥ When connecting stripped wires, be sure to wrap
them securely with electrical tape to prevent shorts.
≥ Bundle all cables and keep cable terminals free
from touching any metal parts.
Observe the following cautions for
installing the base plate
≥ Do not install the base plate as fi gure on page
38 of Installation Instructions.
One method for installing the main unit is to
use bond or adhesive tape (option) to fi x wood
or plastic (option) to the ceiling panel before
attaching the base plate. However, the main unit
will not be securely installed using this method,
and the bond may separate due to heat from
the vehicle. Shock, impact, vibration or main
unit weight in this situation would be extremely
dangerous.
≥ The main unit weighs approximately 3 k . Be
absolutely sure that the main unit is secured
properly and does not come loose even with
vibration or shock.
≥ Check that there is suffi cient strength in the
ceiling reinforcement crosspieces to hold the
weight of the product.
≥ Check the thickness of the interior materials,
attachment space, etc, refer to the attachment
example (installation instructions) and determine
the base plate attachment position.
≥ Take care that the base plate or attachment
screws do not pinch cords and wiring. Also take
care not to scratch or damage the ceiling or
other parts of the vehicle.
