Important Notice
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle which is equipped with a television viewer or
screen that is located in the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or that is visible, directly
or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle. In the interest of safety, the PROVD8 should never be installed
where it will be visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.
Warnings
Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the video monitor.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen. Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe
the screen if it is dirty.
Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use.
Before putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position.
Remember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto positions when the vehicle is unattended, as the dome
lights, if left on, can drain the vehicle’s battery.
Do not put pressure on the screen.
Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it may become dirty or damaged.
