• When the LCD panel is subjected to direct
sunlight for a long period of time, it will
become very hot, resulting in possible damage
to the LCD screen. When not using this
navigation system, avoid exposing it to direct
sunlight as much as possible.
• The LCD panel should be used within the
temperature ranges shown below.
– Operating temperature range: –10 °C to
+50 °C
– Storage temperature range: –20 °C to +80 °C
• Do not use the LCD panel at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating temperature
range because the LCD panel may not operate
normally and the LCD panel can be damaged.
• The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase
its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not
press strongly on it as this may damage it.
• Do not place anything on the LCD panel when
it is opened. Also, do not attempt to manually
adjust the angle or open/close the LCD panel.
Applying strong force to the LCD panel may
damage it.
• Do not push on the LCD screen with a large
amount of force as this may scratch it.
• Never touch the LCD screen with anything
besides your finger when operating the Touch
Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch
easily. (The stylus is supplied for special
calibrations. Do not use the stylus for normal
operation.)
• Be careful not to place anything between the
LCD panel and the main body when the LCD
panel is closing. If an object gets between the
LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may
stop working.
About the liquid crystal display
(LCD) screen
• If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air
conditioner when it is opened, make sure that
air from the air conditioner is not directly
blowing on the panel. Heat from the heater
may break the LCD screen, and cool air from
the air conditioner may cause moisture to form
inside the product, resulting in possible
damage. Also, if the LCD panel is cooled down
by the air conditioner, the LCD screen may
become dark, or the life span of the small
fluorescent tube used inside the LCD panel
may be shortened.
• Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are due
to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do
not indicate a problem with the navigation
system.
• At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be
dark for a while after the power is turned on.
• The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
• When using a mobile phone, keep the aerial of
the mobile phone away from the navigation
system to prevent video disruption with
disturbances such as spots or coloured
stripes.
Keeping the LCD screen in good
condition
• When removing dust from the LCD screen or
cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
About the small fluorescent tube
• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
– The fluorescent tube should last for
approximately 10 000 hours, depending on
operating conditions. (Using the navigation
system at low temperatures reduces the
service life of the fluorescent tube.)
– When the fluorescent tube reaches the end
of its life, the LCD screen will be dark and
the image will no longer be projected. If this
happens, consult your dealer or the nearest
authorised Pioneer Service Station.
