GE TME-M580 - Manual (Page 2)

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing them
may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may result in fire or
electric shock.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND. (Check with your dealer if you are not sure.)
Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. Failure to do
so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES. Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and
results in serious accident.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS. Bolts or
nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be
used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause
fire etc.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING
YOUR VEHICLE. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to
a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so
may result in an accident.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS. Arrange wiring and
cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or
hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES. When drilling holes in the chassis for
installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical
wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product
damage.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS. Use for other than its designed application may
result in fire, electric shock or other injury.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. If the unit is not installed
correctly the air bag may not function correctly and when triggered the air bag may cause the monitor to spring
upwards causing an accident and injuries.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING. Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING. Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of
the vehicle and cause an accident.
INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS
THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS APPLIED. It is dangerous (and illegal in
many states) for the driver to watch TV/Video while driving a vehicle. Installing this product incorrectly enables
the driver to watch TV/Video while driving. This may cause a distraction, preventing the driver from looking
ahead, thus causing an accident. The driver or other people could be severely injured.
