Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the AutoVisiontSystem. See
your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Do not insert foreign objects into the videocassette player (VCP) tape
cassette compartment.
The front glass on the liquid crystal display may break when hit
with a hard surface. If the glass breaks, do not touch the liquid
crystalline material. In case of contact with skin, wash immediately
with soap and water.
The driver must not attempt to operate any function of the floor
console mounted VCP while the vehicle is in motion. Give full
attention to driving and to the road. Pull off the road and park in a
safe place before inserting or extracting video tapes from the VCP. A
remote control is included in the system to allow the rear seat
occupants to operate the VCP functions without distracting the driver.
Be sure to review User Manuals for video games and video game
equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your AutoVisiontSystem.
Do not operate video games or video equipment if the power cords
and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or
cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation
of seats and/or compartments.
Disconnect video games and video equipment power cords and/or cables
when not in use.
Avoid touching auxiliary input jacks with your fingers. Do not blow on
them or allow them to get wet or dirty.
Do not clean any part of the AutoVisiontsystem with benzene, paint
thinner or any other solvent.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Compliance
Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln Mercury could
void user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
Entertainment systems
55

the instructions, may cause harmful interference and radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Care of the videocassette player (VCP)
Environmental extremes
Videocassette players subjected to harsh environmental conditions may
be damaged or perform at less than maximum capability. To avoid these
outcomes, avoid leaving the VCP:
²in extremely hot or cold temperatures.
²in direct sunlight.
²in high humidity.
²in a dusty environment.
²in locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
²on a surface that is instable or subject to vibrations.
Temperature extremes
When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.
High/low temperature sensor circuit
²Excessively high or low temperatures may cause damage to the VCP.
²When the temperature of the VCP becomes too high or low, the
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation, ejects the
cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp will remain
illuminated until the system has returned to a safe operating
temperature.

Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the VCP under extremely humid
conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one. Moisture
condensation on the tape playback head drum may damage the
videocassette and/or drum. If moisture condensation occurs, do not
insert a videocassette into the player. If a videocassette is already in the
player, remove it. Turn the VCP power ON to dry the moisture before
inserting a videocassette. This could take an hour or more.
Dew sensor circuit
²Under high moisture (dewed) conditions, the tape heads and cassette
tape may be damaged if the VCP is operated.
²When the vehicle's cabin temperature is very low and then is heated
quickly, or the humidity is very high within the vehicle, the inside of
the windows most likely will be fogged. Under these conditions, the
inside of the VCP most likely is dewed.
²When a dewed condition exists, the dew sensor circuit stops machine
operation, ejects the cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The
lamp will remain illuminated until the system is dry enough to operate
safely.
Cleaning video heads
Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the
screen during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape
and are left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with
dust and air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads.
Dirty heads generally cause ªsnowyº pictures and, in some severe cases,
blurred or interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at
video stores to clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because
some are abrasive to the video heads. If normal head cleaning
procedures do not resolve the problem, have the system checked by a
service technician.
Foreign substances
Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP
compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto
the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is
accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF
and consult a qualified service technician.
