Installation
Note:
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connect-
ed up properly, and the unit and the system work
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to
ensure proper installation. The use of unautho-
rized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica-
tions of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the dri-
ver's way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• Do not place the display in a position where it
will impede the driver's visibility or affect the
operation of your vehicle's air bags.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don't install the unit anywhere hot
— for instance, near a heater outlet.
• If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal,
the unit might not give its optimum performance.

• To ensure proper heat dissipation of this product,
take special care not to block the cooling fan side
of this product.
• When mounting the hide-away unit, make sure
none of the leads are trapped between the hide-
away unit and the surrounding metalwork or fit-
tings.
• Do not mount the hide-away unit near the heater
outlet, where it would be affected by heat, or near
the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check
behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not
drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring
or other important parts.
• If the hide-away unit is installed in the passenger
compartment, anchor it securely so it does not
break free while the car is moving, and cause
injury or an accident.
• If the hide-away unit is installed under a front
seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat move-
ment. Route all leads and cords carefully around
the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught
or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short
circuit.
