Sound Storm Laboratories SSV10.4FL - Manual (Page 3)

On a towel or soft cloth, gently place the monitor assembly “face down” on a stable
work surface.
Using the wires provided, complete the audio, video and power connections in
your vehicle as shown in the diagram below.
Thread all the wires through the
round hole in the center of the
mounting plate.
Install the monitor onto the
mounting plate, using at least six
of the screws provided.
Attach the monitor mounting plate
by screwing through the headliner
and into the existing roof supports
or the wood bracket you made (see
TIP below).
To lower the monitor, press the Monitor Release button and pull the monitor down.
It will drop freely to 45º.
To lower the monitor further, continue pulling down and the internal mechanism
will permit further movement and will hold the monitor in the position in which you
leave it.
To avoid accidental damage, we suggest you always close the monitor assembly
when it is not in use. To do so, rotate the monitor back to a 0º left-to-right position,
and push it up into the monitor base until you hear a “click.” Test that it is secured
by gently pulling down on monitor frame.

Operating precautions
Turn the unit off when it is not in use.
Avoid dropping any metal objects or
inflammable items into the monitor
ventilation slots.
Do not place objects on or suspend
objects from the power cord, as this
may damage the cord.
Installation precautions
Choose a mounting location in your
vehicle where the unit will not distract
or otherwise interfere with the driver’s
ability to control the vehicle.
Do not install components in areas
which are susceptible to rain, moisture,
direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold,
excessive dust, dirt or humidity.
If installation requires drilling holes or
other modifications to the vehicle,
consult with your nearest dealer or
professional car audio installer.
Use only the installation parts and
hardware provided with the unit to
ensure proper installation. Using other
parts can cause malfunction and
possible damage to your Sound Storm
video monitor.
Use only a power source with 12 Volts
DC (negative ground).
Before final installation, temporarily
connect the wiring according to the
diagram near the end of this manual,
check it to ensure that it has been
connected properly, and test the unit
to make sure it is working correctly.
After the monitor is installed, do not
arbitrarily pull it down or strike it. This
may loosen the mounting screws and
cause it to fall down.
