• When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sun-
light 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 tem-
perature 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 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 cali-
brations. Do not use the stylus for normal oper-
ation.)
• 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 con-
ditioner 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 con-
ditioner may cause moisture to form inside the
product, resulting in possible damage. Also, if
the LCD panel is cooled down by the air condi-
tioner, 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 sys-
tem.
• 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 distur-
bances 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 the soft dry cloth.
• When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abra-
sive chemical cleaners.
About the small fluorescent tube
• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the dis-
play to illuminate the LCD screen.
— The fluorescent tube should last for approx-
imately 10 000 hours, depending on operat-
ing 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 useful 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.
