Instructions for Use

General Safety Warnings: To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, avoid placing metal objects (like coins) inside the unit, which could cause short circuits. Install the unit in a location that does not obstruct the driver's view or interfere with vehicle operations. While driving, prioritize attention to the road rather than the display. The head unit contains high-precision components, so avoid strong impacts. Do not attempt to remove the cover or adjust internal components; for maintenance, consult a professional service center.

Before Use: When purchasing optional accessories or making system settings, verify compatibility with the unit with your dealer. You can select your preferred language settings in the language menu.

Display Protection: Protect the display from damage by not using ballpoint pens or sharp tools to touch it. For cleaning, use a mildly damp soft cloth. Avoid rough cloths, alcohol, or any other corrosive liquids, as these can damage, blur, or blank the screen. Proper cleaning prevents damage. Damage resulting from improper operation is not covered by the warranty.
