Handling the display unit

• 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, close the LCD panel and avoid expos-
ing it to direct sunlight as much as possible.

• The display unit 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 display unit at temperatures

higher or lower than the operating temperature
range because the display unit may not oper-
ate normally and the display unit can be dam-
aged.

• 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 deployed. Also, do not attempt to carry out
angle adjustment, or open/close the LCD panel
by hand. Applying strong force to the LCD
panel may damage it.

• Do not push the LCD screen with much 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.

• Be careful not to place anything between the

LCD panel and the main body when the LCD
panel is opening or closing. If an object gets
between the LCD panel and main body, the
LCD panel may stop working.

• Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose

articles of clothing which could possibly
get caught between the LCD panel and the
main body and cause serious injury.

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 blowing on it.
Heat from the heater may break the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause
moisture to form inside the display unit, result-
ing 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 display unit.

• 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 portable phone, keep the aerial

of the portable phone away from the display
unit to prevent disruption of the video with dis-
turbances 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 supplied cloth.

• When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to

scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abra-
sive chemical cleaners.

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 display unit 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 Sta-
tion.
