Precautions

Safety

To ensure driving safety, please follow the guides given below:

1. The unit is installed in a car with a 12V power supply.
2. Connect each wire as the manual suggests; any wrong connection may cause dysfunction or damage to the electrical system.
3. Be sure the speaker(-) lead is connected to the speaker(-) terminal instead of the body of the car. Speakers are not allowed to be interconnected.
4. Make sure all wires are correctly connected before turning on the unit.
5. When you change a blown fuse, replace it with a new one of the same specification.
6. Do not block the blowhole or heat sink to avoid fire hazard caused by overheating inside the unit.
7. After completing installation, you can use the product (including changing the car battery); Press the [RESET] button on the panel with a penpoint (sharp or prong objects not allowed) to set the system in initial status.
8. To ensure driving safety and avoid breaking traffic regulations, drivers should not watch programs or operate this device while driving.

Cleaning Device

If any stains are found on the front panel, use a clean soft cloth (such as cleaning cloth) to wipe them off. If the front panel is too dirty, use a neutral cleaning fluid, then clean the residual fluid with a clean soft cloth.

Caution: Directly spraying the cleaning fluid onto the device may affect mechanical parts. Use a rough cloth or volatile fluid (such as thinner or alcohol) which may scratch the surface or remove the characters.

Lens Mist

In cold weather, mist may occur on the lens of the disc player when the heat is open. This is called lens mist, which may affect disc playback. In that case, eject the disc and wait until the condensate fully evaporates, then you can play it again.
