Warnings and Precautions
WARNING!
Certain functions are disabled unless the parking brake is engaged. The unit is designed to detect parked status and must be connected to the power supply side of the parking brake switch. Improper connection or use may violate applicable laws and result in injury or damage. This unit is not for use with a video screen visible to the driver. To avoid accidents and legal violations, the front video image feature should never be used while driving. Other video displays should not be a distraction. Some regions may have laws against viewing images on a display inside a vehicle, even by non-drivers; these regulations must be obeyed.
Always wear your seat belt. Injuries can be more severe if your seat belt is not properly buckled. The supplier disclaims all liability for failure to follow these warnings.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
- Connect only to a 12V DC battery with negative grounding.
- Avoid direct sunlight, high dust, high temperatures (over 40°C), or high humidity (over 90%). Cool the interior if temperatures are high.
- Operate in well-ventilated areas.
- Do not turn the unit on/off in short intervals. Wait at least 10 seconds before turning it back on.
- Do not use scratched, bent, or broken discs. Do not force a disc if not loaded properly.
- Do not watch video playback while driving, as it poses a serious danger and risk of traffic accidents, and may violate laws and regulations.
- Do not install the unit where it restrains safe driving.
- Do not disassemble the unit. For repairs, contact an authorized service center.
- Do not open or close the monitor manually, as it may damage the tilt system.
- Do not touch the LCD screen with hard objects to prevent scratches.
- If the monitor back touches the dashboard or air-conditioner inlet after opening, adjust the TILT level in the monitor's TILT menu to prevent repeated touching.
- Parking under direct sunlight can increase interior temperature, potentially affecting unit operation. Try again after the car cools down.
- Replace fuses only with professional guidance. Using an improper fuse can damage or burn the unit.
- Do not use irregular shaped discs.
- IR remote control operation may be hindered by the monitor when open. Use the remote control at a similar level to the receiver.
- Do not block the cooling fan.

Installation / Un-installation
Note
Ensure wiring is connected properly before installation. Use only provided parts. Unauthorized parts may cause malfunction. Install the unit where it does not obstruct the driver or injure passengers in case of sudden stops.
INSTALLATION
- Attach the 2 brackets to the left and right sides of the unit.
- Use screws to fix the brackets to the unit.
Mounting Strap
The mounting strap can help support the stereo in the dash and reduce vibration. Attach one end to the rear of the stereo with a screw, and the other end to an existing bolt or screw behind the dash. Bend as necessary for mounting.
Wiring Connections
Ensure a good chassis ground for optimal electrical performance and to eliminate noise. The ground connection area must be clean, bare metal.
Caution: Do not interchange wiring connections.
For some car models, modification of the power cord wiring may be necessary. Consult your authorized car dealer.
Using the power connector
Cut the connector and connect the colored leads of the power cord to the car battery according to the color code table for speaker and power cable connections.
NOTE: Never connect cables while the system is connected to the battery. Disconnecting from the battery erases preset memory.
ASWC Connections
To use an external universal SWC module, connect only IR (Green) to the module's output.
Note: For video playback, the parking wire should be connected to a break signal. Two cables are connected to a Hands-Free device (not included).
Parking wire
The parking wire connects to the brake signal. For safety, programs can be viewed on the monitor after the parking brake is applied.
Connecting the reversing line to taillight on the car: When the car is in reverse gear, the unit will display the picture from the rear-view camera.
Note:
- Use only groundless loudspeakers.
- Use loudspeakers of minimum 40 Watt. Fewer watts may damage loudspeakers at higher volumes.
- Use 4-8 Ω (Ohm impedance) loudspeakers only. Higher or lower impedance may damage the unit.
- Do not use 3-cable loudspeakers. Do not connect loudspeaker minus to the car body.
The unit uses a BTL circuit, and each loudspeaker must be connected with insulated cables as per the diagram. Loudspeaker cables and external power amplifiers should be kept about 30cm away from the antenna.
