is illegal in most jurisdictions for the driver to view video while the vehicle is
in motion.

The SAFETY NOTICE is reminder to drive responsibly and safely while using your mobile phone device, or any apps that are
compatible with this unit.

It is highly recommended that your DUAL unit is installed by a professional installer or an authorized dealer.

This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.

To prevent damage or injury:

• Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.
• Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or the possibility of water splashing.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the correct rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause the unit
to malfunction.
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.
• Use only the provided hardware and wire harness.
• If you experience problems during installation, consult your nearest DUAL dealer.
• If the unit malfunctions, reset the unit as described. If the problem still persists, consult your nearest DUAL dealer or call
technical assistance @ 1-866-382-5476.
• To clean the monitor, wipe only with a dry silicone cloth or other soft cloth. Do not use a stiff cloth or solvents such as
paint thinner and alcohol, as these can scratch the surface of the panel and/or remove the printing.
• When the temperature of the unit falls (as in winter), the liquid crystal inside the screen will become darker than usual.
Normal brightness will return after the unit is in use for a while.
• When extending the ignition, battery or ground wiring, make sure to use automotive-grade wiring with an a minimum
AWG 16 or more to prevent voltage drops.

WARNING
Upon installation of this monitor/media player (“unit”) into a vehicle, the driver of
the vehicle must not operate this unit by watching videos or playing video games
while driving. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction
which could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons
outside the vehicle and/or property damage.

Several states prohibit the installation of monitors/media players if the screen is

visible from the driver’s seat. If you reside in a jurisdiction which has enacted
such a law, this unit must not be installed so that the screen is visible from the
driver’s seat. When installing this unit in the front console/dashboard, the unit
must be positioned so that it is facing the front passenger seat only. Failure
to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle
and/or property damage.

This unit is designed so that it may be operated only when the vehicle is in “Park”
and the parking brake is fully engaged. To this end, this unit includes a parking
brake lock-out feature which prohibits the unit from operating if the vehicle is not
in “Park” and/or the parking brake is not fully engaged. When installing this unit,
the installer must connect the parking brake detect wire to the parking brake
mechanism in order to make the parking brake lock-out feature operable. DO
NOT simply ground the parking brake detect wire to a metal portion of the vehicle.
Failure to properly install the parking brake lock-out feature could lead to driver
distraction which could result in serious injury or death to the driver’s occupants
or persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.

Once the parking brake lock-out feature is installed, the owner/user must not
attempt to disrupt/neutralize the parking brake lock-out feature by (a) partially
engaging the parking brake and/or (b) purchasing/using any device or unit
designed to send necessary brake signals to the unit. Failure to follow these
instructions could lead to driver distraction which could result in serious injury
or death to the driver’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or property
damage.

When operating this unit, keep the unit’s volume level low enough so that the
vehicle’s occupants can hear traffic-related sounds such as police and emergency
vehicles. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which
could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons
outside the vehicle and/or property damage.

Apple CarPlay® Operation

Apple CarPlay is a smart interface for iPhone, allowing you to voice-control (via
Siri) music, navigation, phone and messaging apps - significantly reducing driver
distraction.
Phone - Use Siri to make calls, return missed calls, listen to voicemail
messages, and view the caller ID on the receiver’s screen.

Messages - Ask Siri to send, read, and reply to text messages. This hands
free operation minimizes distraction and allows you to keep hands on the
wheel and eyes on the road.

Music - Access music by artist, song, playlist, and more through the
receiver’s touchscreen or via Siri. The receiver will mirror the iPhone screen
with artist and track information.

Maps - Use Siri to request turn-by-turn directions – search by address or

points of interest. Apple Maps will be mirrored on the screen, including
traffic information and estimated time to destination.
