INTRODUCTION
DISPLAY
The Rosen ClearVue Ultra system installed in your vehicle has been
chosen to give the occupants a more enjoyable journey.
Unlike conventional TV screens, the Ultra system monitors are Liquid

Because of this, the following should be observed:
Ensure that you and your passengers take time to read these
instructions.

•
Do not press on the monitor unit; this can distort the picture or
damage the LCD panel.
Portable radios and telephones
Clean the LCD panel with a slightly damp, soft cloth using a mild
household detergent.
When using portable radios and telephones near the unit, picture or
sound interference may occur. Do not use these devices near this unit.
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially availa-
ble cleaners or antistatic spray.
SWITCHING ON
Use the Ultra system when your vehicle is running or the ignition switch
is in the “accessory” position.
Do not use this unit in temperatures under 0°C (32°F) or over 80°C
(176°F).
If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the picture may not be
