HOW TO HANDLE THE DVD-ROM
CAUTION
cHandle a DVD-ROM by its edges.
Never touch the surface of the disc.
cTo clean a disc, wipe the surface
from the center to the outer edge us-
ing a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe
the disc using a circular motion. Do
not use a conventional record
cleaner, benzine, thinner or alcohol
intended for industrial use.
cA new disc may be rough on its inner
and outer edges. Remove the rough
edges using the side of a pen or pen-
cil as illustrated.cNever attempt to use a DVD-ROM
that has been cracked, deformed or
repaired using adhesive. Doing so
may damage the equipment.
cHandle the DVD-ROM carefully to
avoid contamination or flaws.
Otherwise, the data may not be read
properly.
cDo not write, draw or attach anything
on either side of the DVD-ROM.
cDo not store the DVD-ROM in loca-
tions exposed to direct sunlight or in
high temperatures or humidity.
cDo not apply any stickers or write

mWARNING
Never disassemble the display. Some
parts utilize extremely high voltage.
Touching them may result in serious
personal injury.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A LIQUID
CRYSTAL DISPLAY
cIf the temperature inside the vehicle is espe-
cially low, the display will stay relatively dim or
the movement of the images may be slow.
These conditions are normal. The display will
function normally when the interior of the ve-
hicle has warmed up.
cSome pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is an in-
herent characteristic of liquid crystal displays,
and it is not a malfunction.
cYou may also notice a remnant of the previous
display image on the screen. This screen burn
is inherent in displays, and it is not a
malfunction.
