- Fuse Replacement: When replacing a fuse, use the correct type and amperage (10 amp ATC blade-type fuse located on the back of the unit).
- Installation Precautions: Disconnect negative battery terminal before installation. Avoid installing where subject to high temperatures, direct sunlight, dust, dirt, or excessive vibration.
- Liquid Crystal Display Care: If the temperature falls (as in winter), the liquid crystal inside the screen will become darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after using the monitor for a while. To clean the monitor, wipe only with a dry silicone cloth or soft cloth. Do not use a stiff cloth, or volatile solvents such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or remove the printing. Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD is damaged or broken. The liquid crystal fluid may be hazardous to your health or fatal. If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body or clothing, wash it off with soap immediately.
