Ambient conditions for playing
disc
• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature
cutout protects this product by switching it off
automatically.
• Despite our careful design of the product, as a
result of mechanical wear, ambient conditions
for use, or handling of the disc, small
scratches that do not affect actual operation
may appear on the disc surface. This is not a
sign of the malfunction of this product. Con-
sider it to be normal wear and tear.
Using the navigation system
Correctly
• If liquid or foreign matter should get inside
this navigation system, turn off the power
immediately and consult your dealer or the
nearest authorized PIONEER Service Sta-
tion. Do not use the navigation system in
this condition because doing so may result
in a fire, electric shock, or other failure.
• If you notice smoke, a strange noise or
smell from the navigation system, or any
other abnormal signs on the LCD screen,
turn off the power immediately and con-
sult your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station. Using this navi-
gation system in this condition may result
in permanent damage to the system.
• Do not disassemble or modify this naviga-
tion system, as there are high-voltage
components inside which may cause an
electric shock. Be sure to consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER
Service Station for internal inspection,
adjustments or repairs.
Handling the LCD panel
• When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sun-
light for a long period of time, it will become
very hot resulting in possible damage to the
LCD screen. When not using this navigation
system, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as
much as possible.
• The LCD panel should be used within the tem-
perature ranges shown below.
— Operating temperature range: +14 °F to
+122 °F
— Storage temperature range: –4 °F to +176
°F
• Do not use the LCD panel at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating temperature
range because the LCD panel may not operate
normally and the LCD panel can be damaged.
• The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase
its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not
press strongly on it as this may damage it.
• Do not place anything on the LCD panel when
it is deployed. Also, do not attempt to carry out
angle adjustment, or open/close the LCD panel
by hand. Applying strong force to the LCD
panel may damage it.
• Do not push the LCD screen with much force
as this may scratch it.
• Never touch the LCD screen with anything
besides your finger when operating the Touch
Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch
easily.
• Be careful not to place anything between the
LCD panel and the main body when the LCD
panel is closing. If an object gets between the
LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may
stop working.
• Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose
articles of clothing which could possibly
get caught between the LCD panel and the
main body and cause serious injury.
Liquid crystal display (LCD)
screen
• If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air con-
ditioner when it is opened, make sure that air
from the air conditioner is not blowing on it.
Heat from the heater may break the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause
moisture to form inside the this product result-
ing in possible damage. Also, if the LCD panel
is cooled down by the cooler, the LCD screen
may become dark, or the life span of the small
fluorescent tube used inside the LCD panel
may be shortened.
