Installation (continued)

Before InstallationWarning¡TO AVOID RISK OR SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLE

VIOLATION OF LAWS DO NOT INSTALL WHERE VISI-BLE TO THE DRIVER. Do not install the monitor in alocation which obstructs driving, visibility or which isprohibited by applicable laws and regulations. If themonitor is installed in a location which obstructs for-ward visibility or operation of the air bag or other safetyequipment or which interferes with operation of the car,it may cause an accident.

¡Never use bolts or nuts from the car's safety devices forinstallation. If bolts or nuts from the steering wheel,brakes or other safety devices are used for installation ofthe monitor, it may cause an accident.

¡Attach the wires correctly. If the wiring is not correctlyperformed, it may cause a fire, failure of electrical equip-ment and-or an accident. In particular, be sure to runand secure the lead wire so that it does not get tangledwith a screw or the moving portion of a seat rail.

¡Use with 12 V DC negative ground car. This unit is onlyfor use with a 12 V DC negative ground car. It cannot beused in large trucks or diesel cars which are 24 V DCcars. If it is used in the wrong type of car, it may cause afire or an accident.

Required ToolsYou’ll need a screwdriver and the following:

Suitable Headrest for Installation

Identify All LeadsThe first step in installation is to identify all the car wiresyou’ll use when hooking up your LCD monitor.As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label itusing masking tape and a permanent marker. This will helpavoid confusion when making connections later. Note: Do not connect the power connector to the displayunit until you have made all connections. If there are noplastic caps on the hooking wires, insulate all exposedleads with electrical tape until you are ready to use them.Identify the leads in the following order.Power LeadIf your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug (leav-ing the leads as long as possible) so that you can workwith individual leads. Turn the ignition on to the accessoryposition, and ground one lead of the test bulb to the chas-sis.

Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the exposedwires from the cut radio connector plug. Touch one wire ata time until you find the outlet that causes the test bulb tolight. Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also turnsoff and on, that outlet is the car power lead. If your car is not wired for an audio unit: Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio(RADIO) accessory (ACC) or ignition (IGN).Battery LeadIf your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need to locatethe car's battery lead. Otherwise you may ignore this pro-cedure. (The yellow battery lead provides continuouspower to maintain a clock or other functions.)If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car batterylead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to the chassis

q Draw a frame along the outside of the trim plate r with anoil pen.

w Draw two diagonal lines.

e Cut the surface along the diagonal lines with a cutter. (Nevercut the surface along the outer frame.)

e Cut the stuffing material along all the way of the line drawnin q - q under the flapping surface material to an appro-priate depth so that the mounting tray e can be embeddedwhile raising the flapping surface material. Remove the stuff-ing material from inside the cut rectangular parallelepipedwith your hand.

A

Sectional View

The diameter of the holeshould be large enough topass the two plugs smoothly.

1 Hollow out the headrest.q Fold the flapping surface material inside and try to put the

mounting tray e inside the hollowed space of the headrest.Check for fit. If it is OK, mark inside A with a marker pen asshown in the figure.

w Take out the mounting tray e and make a hole from themarked point to the bottom of the headrest to pass the junc-tion cable q.

e Pull the cable out of the headrest and secure the mountingtray e to the post of the headrest with optional strap orother items.

Note: Make sure to secure the mounting tray e in thisstep. Otherwise, the monitor cannot be installed firmly.

r Put the headrest back on the seat.Pass the junction cable q through the hole.
