Handling the display
!
Never touch the screen with anything be-
sides your finger when operating the touch
panel function. The screen can scratch ea-
sily.
!
When the display is subjected to direct sun-
light for a long period of time, it will be-
come very hot resulting in possible
damage to the LCD screen. You should
avoid exposing the display unit to direct
sunlight as much as possible.
!
The display should be used within the tem-
perature range of
–
10 °C to +60 °C.
At temperatures higher or lower than this
operating temperature range, the display
may not operate normally.
!
The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-
crease its visibility within the vehicle. Do
not press it strongly on it as this may da-
mage it.
!
Do not push the LCD screen forcefully as
this may scratch it.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
!
Heat from the heater may damage the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may
cause moisture to form inside the display
resulting in possible damage.
!
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 malfunction.
!
When using a cellular phone, keep the an-
tenna away from the display to prevent dis-
ruption of the video image by the
appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
LED (light-emitting diode)
backlight
!
At low temperatures, using the LED back-
light may increase image lag and degrade
the image quality due to the characteristics
of the LCD screen. Image quality will im-
prove with an increase in temperature.
!
To protect the LED backlight, the display
will darken in the following environments:
—
In the direct sunlight
—
Near the heater vent
!
The product lifetime of the LED backlight is
more than 10 000 hours. However, it may
decrease if used in high temperatures.
!
If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dark and the image will no longer be pro-
jected. In such cases, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER
Service Station.
Keeping the display in good
condition
!
When removing dust from the screen or
cleaning the display, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
