IMPORTANT NOTICE
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a
motor vehicle which is equipped with a television viewe
r
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 VOH802 DL should
never be installed where it will be visible, directly o
r
indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.
TELEVISION RECEPTION
This entertainment system is designed primarily fo
r
viewing pre-recorded movies or playing video games.
Television reception in a moving vehicle will be
limited and in some areas will not be possible due to
weak and variable signal strength. Television
viewing in a stationary vehicle will result in an
improvement, but may still be marginal due to
strength. The quality of the picture will not be
consistent with home TV reception. Reception may
be affected by the weather and distance from the TV
station. A weak signal may cause the picture to roll,
be snowy, or cause some color loss.
