• Do not leave the liquid crystal panel surface
facing upwards on top of the dashboard.
(storage temperature range: –20 °C to +80 °C )
Cautions for the liquid crystal panel
• Do not strongly impact the liquid crystal panel.
• There are red spots, blue spots and green
spots on the panel surface. This is a charac-
teristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a
problem.
The liquid crystal panel is built with very high
precision technology and has at least 99.99%
effective image pixels. Be aware that on
0.01% of the panel there may be missing
pixels or constantly light pixels.
• When the temperature is very cold or very hot,
the image may not appear clearly or may
move slowly.
Also, movement of the image may seem to be
out of sync or the image quality may decline in
such environments. Note that this is not a
malfunction or problem.
(usage temperature range: 0 °C to +40 °C)
40 °C or hotter
0 °C or colder
During the summer,
temperatures can
reach as high as
100 °C.
+80°C

–20°C to +80°C
Spots
When the liquid crystal panel reaches high
temperatures or low temperatures, chemical
changes occur within the liquid crystal panel
which may cause malfunctions.
