ImpOrTANT NOTICES

Installation of overhead products requires careful planning and 

preparation. Be extremely careful when working on a vehicle with 

side curtain air bags. Do not route wires near any portion of the side 

curtain air bag assemblies. This includes anchor points in A, B, C or D 

pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires in these areas or running wires by 

the side curtain air bags can prevent the side curtain air bag from fully 

deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If 

you have any question regarding routing in a vehicle, please contact 

Audiovox Technical support at 1-800-225-6074.

An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle 

and visible to the driver only if the LCD panel or video monitor is used 

for vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation or 

navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is used for television 

reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor must be 

installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in 

“park” or when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.

An LCD panel and/or video monitor used for television reception, 

video or DVD play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when 

the parking brake is not applied must be installed to the rear of the 

driver seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the 

operator of the motor vehicle.

• 

Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the 

video monitor.

• 

Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen.

• 

Use only lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is 

dirty.

• 

Lock the LCD screen in fully closed position when not in use.

• 

Before putting on headphones, always adjust the volume setting to 

OFF or lowest position.

• 

Remember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto position 

when the vehicle  is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can 

drain the vehicle battery.

• 

Do not put pressure on the screen.

• 

Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it 

may become dirty or damaged.

Safety precautions

For safety reasons, when changing video media, it is recommended 

that the vehicle is not in motion, and that you do not allow children to 

unfasten seat-belts to change video media or make any adjustments 

to the system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the 

remote control, while seat-belts remain fastened. Enjoy your ADVENT 

entertainment system but remember that the safety of all passengers 

remains the number one priority.

Please be advised that the wireless FM modulator will perform well in 

most applications. However, in certain applications the quality of the 

wireless signal may be less than optimal, resulting in static or strong 

local station bleed through.
