5-1 Liquid Crystal Panel/Generalities
※ For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.
• Be sure to house the liquid crystal panel inside the main unit when parking the car outdoors for
long period of time. The liquid crystal panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to
60°C.
• Do not allow any liquids on the set from drinks, umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal
circuitry.
•Do not disassemble or modify the set in any way. Doing so may result in damage.
• Do not draw the liquid crystal panel out and use it as a tray. Also, subjecting the liquid crystal panel to
shocks may result in breakage, deformation or other damage.
•Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so may damage or deform the cabinet.
•If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at your store of purchase.
• Do not insert objects or poke in the space between the liquid crystal panel and the main unit when
the panel is tilted.
•Do not place anything on the display when the panel is tilted.
•The remote control unit may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.
• In extremely cold weather, the display movement may slow down and the display may darken, but
this is not a malfunction. The display will work normally when the temperature increases.
•Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid crystal panel are normal for LCD products.
• The liquid crystal panel may stop temporarily when it opens or closes, when the engine stops or
when it is cold.
• The touch keys on the display operate when slightly touched. Do not press the touch key screen
with much force.
• Do not push the case surrounding the touch key panel with much force. This may cause
malfunctioning of the touch keys.
5-2 Cleaning
•Cleaning the cabinet
For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt
gently, wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc., as these
substances may damage the cabinet or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber or plastic
products in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.
•Cleaning the liquid crystal panel
The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth.
The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.
