Fuse Replacement: When replacing a blown fuse, disconnect all power supplies and power off the unit. Use the correct replacement fuse.
Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth (a lens cloth) to wipe dirt and fingerprints off the screen. Avoid chemical solvents, cleaning agents, or corrosive detergents, as they can cause irreparable damage.
Battery Replacement (Remote Control): Use a small coin to remove the battery container. Replace the old battery with a new one, ensuring the positive sign (+) faces upward. Insert the container securely. Replace batteries regularly (approximately every six months). Do not mix new and used batteries.
Storage and Environment: Install the unit in a dry location, away from condensation, direct sunlight, or hot air vents. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 60°C. If the vehicle's internal temperature is extremely high, cool down the interior before operating.
Troubleshooting: If the unit shows signs of overheating or malfunction, power it off and consult your dealer immediately. Do not open the unit, as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
General Precautions: Avoid dropping metal or foreign objects between the display screen and enclosure to prevent electrical shorts or damage to the motorized tray. Do not drop the LCD display panel or subject it to direct impact. If the LCD panel breaks, avoid contact with broken glass or leaking fluids; flush affected areas with water and seek medical attention.
