B. Cautions and Warnings
1. Placement
To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to
rain or moisture. To prevent it from falling, do not place the set on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. Keep the unit away
from strong magnets, heat sources, direct sunlight, excessive dust.
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, mois-
ture may condense inside the unit. When you move it from a cold
to a warm location, wait for about one hour before operating the
unit, or remove the disc and leave the unit turned on until the mois-
ture evaporates.
2. Installation
Ensure that the VBP3800 is installed in accordance with the in-
structions and illustrations provided in this manual. When the main
unit is in the bag, the latch of the bag must be fastened to prevent
the unit from falling out. The “S” hooks and all straps must be fas-
tened correctly to secure the system in the vehicle. Operate the
“Video in a Bag” System with the bag open to ensure proper venti-
lation of the monitor and the DVD player. The system is intended to
be mounted for rear seat viewing only. Do not use the system in
the front seat while operating your vehicle.
*NOTE: For home use, the AC/DC power supply that comes with the
VBP3800 can only supply the main unit. If an additional monitor is used,
you must use the AC/DC power supply that is included in all optional
screens.

3. Power
This system MUST be powered from the type of switched (Acces-
sory) power indicated on the marking label (i.e. not directly from the
car battery). Power should be applied to the unit when the ignition
key is in the Run and/or Accessory positions. To prevent battery
discharge, disconnect the “Video in a Bag” System jack from the
cigarette lighter socket when the unit is not in use. Use only the
supplied power cable matching this set to avoid electric hazards.
Always disconnect the power source first and then the jack from the
system.
4. Object and Liquid

shock and/or exposure to Laser Radiation. Contact qualified ser-
vice personnel if your system is in need of repair.
