WARNING
• It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for
a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television
monitor or screen that is visible, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the driver while
operating the vehicle. In the interest
of safety, the unit should never be
installed where it will be directly or
indirectly visible, by the operator of
the motor vehicle.
• For safety reasons when changing
discs, it is recommended that the ve-
hicle is not in motion, and that you do
not allow children to unfasten safety
belts to change discs or make any
adjustments to the system. System
adjustments can be accomplished
using the remote control, while
safety belts remain fastened. •
Enjoy your RSI system but remember
that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority. Devices in-
stalled in the USB, HDMI, or head-
phone jack may protrude and create
a potential eye impact hazard for un-
belted passengers during a vehicle
accident. To reduce the risk of injury,
use only SD cards (hidden on lef t side
of driver side monitor) or low-profile
USB storage devices.
CAUTION
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
wireless rear seat audio system or
any other wireless infrared device,
make sure it is powered off when op-
erating the RSI system. If both sys-
tems are powered on at the same
time, the two systems may obstruct
each other, possibly creating unde-
sirable audio interference through
the wireless headphones.
• Do not touch the inner pins of the
jacks on the front panel. Electrostatic
discharge may cause permanent
damage to the device. •
The LCD display screen is not touch-
screen. Do not put pressure or add
suction cups on the screen.
• Caution children to avoid touching or
scratching the screen, as it may be-
come dirty or damaged.
• Be sure to run the vehicle engine
while using the system. Using this
system without running the engine
can result in battery drain. To avoid
the risk of battery drain, please re-
member to turn off the system when
the vehicle is not in use.

hicle, the system includes the ability to
stream audio over a Bluetooth® connec-
tion to the vehicle’s stereo system.
When monitor A is selected as the source
to stream from, the audio output to the
wireless and wired headphones will be dis-

but individual files on the drive must be less
than 4GB. This format is good for music
and images.
EX-FAT - USB and SDXC
Better choice for larger capacity storage
devices with files that are more than 4GB.
This format is better for larger files such as
full-length movies.
NTFS - USB and SDXC
