— Operating temperature range: -10 °C to
+50 °C
— Storage temperature range: -20 °C to
+80 °C
! Do not use the LCD screen at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating tem-
perature range because the LCD screen
may not operate normally and the LCD
screen can be damaged.
! The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-
crease its visibility within the vehicle.
Please do not press strongly on it as this
may damage it.
! Do not push the LCD screen with excessive
force as this may scratch it.
! Never touch the LCD screen with anything
besides your finger when operating the
Touch Panel functions. The LCD screen can
scratch easily. (The stylus is supplied for
special calibrations. Do not use the stylus
for normal operation.)
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
! If the LCD screen is near the vent of an air
conditioner, make sure that air from the air
conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from
the heater may break the LCD screen, and
cool air from the cooler may cause moist-
ure to form inside the navigation unit, re-
sulting in possible damage. Also, if the
LCD screen is cooled down by the air con-
ditioner, the LCD screen may become dark
or the life span of the small fluorescent
tube used in the LCD screen may be shor-
tened.
! Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are
due to the characteristics of the LCD
screen and do not indicate a problem with
the LCD screen.
! At low temperatures, the LCD screen may
be dark for a while after the power is turned
on.
! The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.

! When using a mobile phone, keep the aer-
ial of the mobile phone away from the LCD
screen to prevent disruption of the video
with disturbances such as spots or co-
loured stripes.
Keeping the LCD screen in good
condition
! When removing dust from the LCD screen
or cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the
system power off, then wipe with a soft dry
cloth.
! When wiping the LCD screen, take care not
to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
Small fluorescent tube
! A small fluorescent tube is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
— The fluorescent tube should last for ap-
proximately 10 000 hours, depending on
operating conditions. (Using the naviga-
tion unit at low temperatures reduces
the service life of the fluorescent tube.)
— When the fluorescent tube reaches the
end of its useful life, the LCD screen will
be dark and the image will no longer be
projected. If this happens, consult your
dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer
service station.
