2. Safety Measures

  • It is forbidden to watch videos or use other visual accessories while driving. Active use of the system during driving is not recommended as it can reduce attention and may result in traffic violations or accidents.
  • The unit is designed for use in cars with a 12V power supply and a negative ground. Do not install the system in a bus or truck with an on-board voltage of 24V, as this may cause damage to the device.
  • Use a special cleaning device to take care of the screen.
  • To avoid overheating, do not allow direct exposure to sunlight and do not install near the heating system. Operating temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. If the vehicle interior temperature is too high, cool the interior before switching on the system. Do not operate the unit at very low temperatures. Wait until the interior and vehicle temperatures return to normal. When the temperature is low, the image on the screen may change with a delay, which is not a malfunction.
  • Only use the fasteners provided (screws, mounting frames, etc.) for installation. Using other fasteners may result in damage to the system, which is not covered by the warranty.
  • Installation and connection of the device shall be performed by a qualified specialist or specially trained staff of a service center.
  • Do not reset to factory settings on your own unless in extreme cases, as this may cause loss of your settings and incorrect operation of the system.
