display is not visible to the driver. Review all applicable state and local laws and regulations to make
sure the monitor is used properly and safely. Avoid using the monitor for extended times while the
vehicle is not running, or the monitor could drain the vehicle’s battery.
Cleaning the Monitor:
Always turn of the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent, isopropyl
alcohol, or window cleaners to clean the display housing. Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes or
solvents to clean the unit.

adjustments.
The monitor’s optically bonded display reduces the effects of reflected light on the display,
increasing contrast ratio and read-ability in high ambient lighting conditions.
The monitor’s autosync function eliminates the need for adjusting the monitor for best
image. The monitor automatically adjusts to the input signal.
HID Compliant IR Touch screen provides a durable touch environment that allows for
operation in all conditions including with gloved hands. HID compliance means no touch
drivers required.
