Using the display correctly
CAUTION
!
If liquid or foreign matter should get inside
this unit, turn off the power immediately and
consult your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station. Do not use the unit
in this condition because doing so may result
in fire, electric shock, or other failure.
!
If you notice smoke, a strange noise or smell,
or any other abnormal signs from the display,
turn off the power immediately and consult
your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station. Using this unit in
this condition may result in permanent da-
mage to the system.
!
Do not disassemble or modify this unit, as
there are high-voltage components inside
which may cause electric shock. Be sure to
consult your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station for internal inspec-
tion, adjustments, or repairs.
Handling the display
!
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 (14 °F to
140 °F).
At temperatures higher or lower than this
operating temperature range, the display
may not operate normally.
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. Also, if the
display is cooled down by the cooler, the
screen may become dark, or the life span
of the small fluorescent tube used inside
the display 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 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.
Fluorescent tube
!
A small fluorescent tube is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
—
The fluorescent tube should last for ap-
proximately 10 000 hours, depending on
operating conditions. (Using the display
at low temperatures reduces the service
life of the fluorescent tube.)
