Important Notice
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle which is equipped with a 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 VOD916 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.
Television Reception
This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing prerecorded 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 signal
strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent with home TV reception. Reception may be affected by
weather and distance from TV station. A weak signal may cause the picture to roll, be snowy, or cause some color
loss.
