Cautions on the monitor:

How to reset your unit
ENGLISH

• The monitor built in this unit has been produced with
high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots.
This is inevitable and is not considered defective.
• Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.
• Do not operate the touch panel using a ball-point
pen or similar tool with the sharp tip.
Touch the buttons on the touch panel with your
finger directly (if you are wearing a glove, take it off).
• When the temperature is very cold or very hot...
– Chemical changes occur inside, causing malfunction.
– Pictures may not appear clearly or may move
slowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with
the sound or picture quality may decline in such
environments.

• Your preset adjustments will also be erased (except
the registered Bluetooth devices).

How to forcibly eject a disc

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will
make driving dangerous by blocking outside sounds,
and may cause hearing loss.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.

Temperature inside the car...
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.

• Be careful not to drop the disc when it ejects.
• If this does not work, reset your unit. (☞ above)

For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided
with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on
