CAUTIONS
INFORMATION TO THE USER
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

REMOTE CONTROL USE
CAUTION : Avoid dropping the remote control.
NOTES :
The Remote control should be directed at the Remote Control sensor just below the LCD Screen as
shown above.
The maximum operating distance of the Remote Control is about 10 feet.
The Remote Control should be kept away from UV exposure which may disrupt its operation.
It may be difficult to receive Remote Control signal when UV is present. If this occurs, it will be nec-
essary to operate it closer to the Remote Control Sensor.
It is time to replace the batteries when the remote control is not working properly.
( Alkaline batteries usually last for 6 months to 1 year. )
Press down and push the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow and lift off.
Install new batteries in the compartment. Be sure to observe the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated in
the compartment.
Use only new AAA batteries of the same type.
If batteries become exhausted, remove them immediately to avoid leakage.
Should battery leakage occur, clean the battery compartment with a soft cloth and replace with new
batteries.

AUDIO SYSTEM
The Audio Outputs always feed a low-level audio signal from the selected input.
The Audio Outputs feed a Monophonic signal whenever the selected input source has a Monophonic
audio signal (e.g. a monophonic broadcast from the built-in TV Tuner, or the signal from a Monophonic
VCP connected to the A/V 1, 2 or 3 input terminals).
The Audio Outputs feed a Stereo signal whenever the selected input source has a Stereo audio signal
(e.g. a stereo broadcast received by the built-in TV Tuner, or the signal from a Hi-fi Stereo VCP or DVD
that is connected to the A/V 1, 2 or 3 input terminals).
The EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUTPUT CONECTOR feeds a high level mono or stereo signal whose
level is Variable up to 2.0W maximum when connected to 4-ohm speakers.
IR (Infrared Rays) Transmitter
The built-in IR Transmitter allows you to listen to the Stereo or Monophonic audio signal from the selected
program source (TV, A/V1, A/V2 or A/V3) on IR Wireless Headphones manufactured by Unwired
Technology LLC. We do not offer these headphones ourselves, but they are widely available under the
Unwired brand name. Headphones sold under other brand names that are compatible with Unwired
may also be used.
The IR signal is always live.
Wireless FM Transmitter
The built-in FM Broadcast Transmitter allows you to listen to the Stereo or Monophonic audio signal from the
selected program source (TV, A/V1, A/V2 or A/V3) on the FM Band of the vehicle's radio or on headphones
equipped with an FM tuner. See page 20 of this manual for a full description and details of operation.
VIDEO SYSTEM
This model incorporates 3 sets of STEREO AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS (A/V1, A/V2, & A/V3 for direct) connection
of up to 3 external program sources (Videocassette Player, Video Game, DVD Player, Camcorder, etc.).
Direct connection results in superior video quality and should be used whenever the external program source
provides direct outputs. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with each external instrument for details.

DOME LIG T CONNECTION
(1) NEGATIVE Door Circuit
Red wire - Connect to 12V unswitched power.
Black wire - Connect to chassis ground.
This wire provides a ground. The lights will illuminate when the LSM104's 3-position dome
light switch is in the ON position. Failure to connect this wire to ground will prevent the
dome lights from illuminating with the switch in the ON position
White wire - Connect to negative door switch.
This wire will short to ground when a door is opened. The lights will illuminate if the
LSM104's 3-position dome light switch is in the DOOR position.
(2) POSITIVE Door Circuit
Red wire - Connect to chassis ground.
Black wire - Connect to 12V unswitched power.
If there is no constant power wire under the factory dome light, a constant power lead will
have to be run to a source of unswitched 12V power.
White wire - Connect to positive door switch.
This wire will have 12V power when a door is opened.
IMPORTANT NOTE - NEGATIVE & POSITIVE DOOR CIRCUITS:
The 3-wire harness for the LSM104's built-in dome lights is color-coded for use in vehicles that
employ a negative door circuit. This includes most US and imported vehicles.
Most Ford Motor Company vehicles and some imported vehicles employ a positive door circuit.
First verify which type of circuit is used in the installation vehicle and then follow the instructions in the
appropriate section below.

STATUS BUTTON

The most common types of television interference are as follows :
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal lines may appear, picture may
flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from
automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drills
and other electric appliances.
GHOSTS :
Ghosts are caused by the television signals following two
paths. One is a direct path and the other is reflected from
tall buildings, hills or other objects.
Changing the direction or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
SNOW :
If you are located on the fringes of a television reception
area, the signal will be weak, and your picture may contain
many small dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to
install an external sensitive antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE :
This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal
streaks, and in some cases causes loss of contrast in the
picture.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
WHEN USED IN A VEHICLE, THIS SYSTEM IS INTENDED PRIMARILY AS A MONITOR FOR A
VIDEO CASSETTE PLAYER, VIDEO GAME, OR CAMERA.
TELEVISION BROADCAST RECEPTION WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY CONDITIONS
SUCH AS MOTION, CHANGE OF DIRECTION, ATMOSPHERIC ACTIVITY, AND LOCAL SUR-
ROUNDINGS.
IT IS THEREFORE LIKELY THAT BROADCAST PICTURE QUALITY WILL BE MARGINAL WHEN
THIS SYSTEM IS USED IN A MOBILE ENVIRONMENT.
