Additional Information
Moisture indicator
The MOISTURE indicator and an on-screen mes-
sage will inform you if the unit reaches abnormal
temperature or condensation levels. As a result,
the unit will not operate until it dries out sufficiently.
When the MOISTURE indicator blinks, leave the
unit on for approximately a few hours to allow it to
dry out completely.
Note
Be sure to wait for the MOISTURE indicator to stop
blinking before turning the unit off. If the unit is
turned off before the indicator stops blinking, the
next time it is turned on, the indicator will blink again
for several minutes.
In areas where the interior of the vehicle becomes
extremely hot or cold, allow the temperature to re-
turn to a comfortable level before operating the VCR.
Do not leave tapes in your vehicle or in the VCR as
extreme temperature will damage the cassette.
