This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules and
Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for
the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules as this
equipment has very low levels of RF energy.

Notes on LCD panel
Additional Information
Updating the Firmware
To update the firmware, visit the support site on the
back cover, then follow the online instructions.
Note
During the update, do not remove the USB device.
Precautions
• Power antenna (aerial) extends automatically.
• When you transfer ownership or dispose of your
car with the unit installed, initialize all the settings
to the factory settings by performing the factory
reset (page 17).
• Do not splash liquid onto the unit.
Notes on safety
• Comply with your local traffic rules, laws, and
regulations.
• While driving
– Do not watch or operate the unit, as it may lead
to distraction and cause an accident. Park your
car in a safe place to watch or operate the unit.
– Do not use the setup feature or any other
function which could divert your attention from
the road.
– When backing up your car, be sure to look back
and watch the surroundings carefully for your
safety even if the rear view camera is connected.
Do not depend on the rear view camera
exclusively.
• While operating
– Do not insert your hands, fingers, or foreign
objects into the unit as it may cause injury or
damage to the unit.
– Keep small articles out of the reach of children.
– Be sure to fasten seatbelts to avoid injury in the
event of sudden movement of the car.
Preventing an accident
Pictures appear only after you park the car and
set the parking brake.
If the car starts moving during video playback,
the following caution is displayed and you
cannot watch the video.
[Video blocked for your safety.]
Do not operate the unit or watch the monitor
while driving.
• Do not get the LCD panel wet
or expose it to liquids. This
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not press down hard on
the LCD panel as doing so
can distort the picture or
cause a malfunction (i.e., the
picture may become unclear
or the LCD panel may be
damaged).
• Do not touch the panel with objects other than
with your finger as it may damage or break the
LCD panel.
• Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray.
• Do not use the unit outside the temperature range
0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF).
• If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the
picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is
not damaged and the picture will become clear
after the temperature in your car becomes normal.
• Some stationary blue, red, or green dots may
appear on the monitor. These are called “bright
spots” and can happen with any LCD. The LCD
panel is precision-manufactured with more than
99.99% of its segments functional. However, it is
possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01%)
of the segments may not light up properly. This
will not, however, interfere with your viewing.
Notes on the touch panel
• This unit uses a capacitive touch panel. Touch the
panel directly with your fingertip.
• Multi-touch operation is not supported on this
unit.
• Do not touch the panel with sharp objects such as
a needle, pen, or fingernail. Operation with a
stylus is not supported on this unit.
• Touching the panel with a gloved finger may cause
the unit to operate incorrectly or not respond.
• Do not let any objects contact the touch panel. If
the panel is touched by an object other than your
fingertip, the unit may not respond correctly.
• Since glass material is used for the panel, do not
subject the unit to strong shock. If cracking or
chipping occurs on the panel, do not touch the
damaged part as it may cause injury.
• Keep other electrical devices away from the touch
panel. They may cause the touch panel to
malfunction.
• If there are water droplets on the touch panel, or if
you touch the panel with wet fingertips, the touch
panel may not react correctly.

Cautions
• Do not install this unit in a car that has no ACC
position. The display of the unit does not turn off
even after turning the ignition off, and this causes

ground (earth) point.
• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw or
caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition
off to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply leads
only after all other leads have been connected.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads
with electrical tape for safety.

Making connections
ɞ To a common ground (earth) point
First connect the black ground (earth) lead then
connect the yellow and red power supply leads.
ɟ To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized at all times
Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth)
lead to a common ground (earth) point.
ɠ To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized when the ignition switch is set to
the accessory position
Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth)
lead to a common ground (earth) point.
ɡ To the power antenna (aerial) control lead or
the power supply lead of the antenna (aerial)
booster
It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is
no power antenna (aerial) or antenna (aerial)
booster, or with a manually-operated telescopic
antenna (aerial).
To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional power
amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers and a
power antenna (aerial). Connecting any other
system may damage the unit.
Foot brake type
ɤ To the +12 V power terminal of the car’s rear
lamp lead (only when connecting the rear
view camera)
When connecting to the battery directly
When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your
car is 10 A, make the power connection to the
battery directly to avoid short circuits.
̈́ to a metal point of car
ͅ to the positive battery terminal
Notes
ˎ Despite connecting to the power supply lead of the
car, the unit may not fully provide its performance
due to insufficient power. In this case, make the
power connection to the battery directly.
ˎ All power wires connected to the positive battery post
should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the battery
post, and before they pass through any metal.
ˎ Make sure that the car’s battery wires connected to
the car (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a wire
gauge at least equal to that of the main power wire
connected from the battery to the head unit.
ˎ During full-power operation, a current of more than
15 A will run through the system. Therefore, make
sure that the wires to be connected to the +12 V and
GND terminals of this unit are at least 14-Gauge
(AWG14) or have a sectional area of more than 2 mm²
(3/32 in).
Less than 450 mm (18 in)
Fuse (15 A)
+12 V car battery
If you have any questions or problems concerning
the connection, consult the dealer for details.
Note
It will take about 10 seconds to shut down the output of
REM OUT after the unit is turned off.
