Safety precautions
WARNING
●
Do not modify this system for any uses other than that specified herein. Also, do not deviate
from the installation procedures described herein; Eclipse will not be held liable for damages
including, but not limited to serious injury, death or property damage resulting from installations
that enable unintended operation.
●
This main unit requires 12V DC and should only be installed in a vehicle with a 12V negative
ground electrical system. Any other installation use other than its intended use may cause
severe damage to the main unit as well as shock or personal injury.
●
Never install this main unit where it will interfere with safe operation of the vehicle.
●
Never block the drivers' view. Do not install main unit where it may interfere with operation of the
brakes, the steering or any safety systems, including seat belts and air bags.
●
Before drilling holes in a vehicle for installation, you must confirm the locations of pipes, tanks,
electrical wiring, and other vehicle systems and components to ensure that there will be no
interference or contact. In addition, you must also apply rust prevention and leak prevention
measures at the drilling area. Otherwise, fire or electric shock could occur.
●
When installing the main unit, do not remove or alter existing vehicle fasteners, including nuts,
bolts, screws, clips, and fittings. Never detach, move or alter existing vehicle wiring, including
electrical grounds and straps. Alteration of existing vehicle components may make vehicle
unsafe to operate.
●
Before installation, remove the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent shocks, electrical arcing,
fires, and damage to vehicle wiring and the main unit you are installing.
●
Secure wiring with non-conductive tape or plastic ties so that wires do not interfere with vehicle
operation, including the brake pedal, gear shifter and steering. Position wires so that they will
not be rubbed, abraded, or damaged by moving vehicle components, including power seats.
●
To avoid damage to the main unit and vehicle, including fire, never supply power to an installed
main unit in a way that will overload the capacity of an existing vehicle circuit. Never leave a
power supply wire or connection uninsulated. Always install supplied fuses, circuit breakers,
and relays.
●
Air bags are a vital part of a safety system. Never install main unit in a way which will alter air
bag wiring or interfere with air bag deployment. Air bags must function properly in the event of
an accident.
●
When installation is complete, test all vehicle electrical systems to ensure they operate
correctly, including lights, horn, brake lights, and emergency flashers.
●
For your protection, never use a power drill without wearing safety glasses or goggles.
Debris or broken drill bits may cause severe eye injuries, including blindness.
●
Use electrical tape to insulate the ends of all wires, even if they are not used. Proper insulation
prevents arcs, shocks and fires.
●
Some devices require the use of batteries. Never install main unit where young children can get
access to batteries. If a battery is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
●
When the vehicle is in motion, never take your eyes off the road to make adjustments to the
main unit. You must pay attention to the road at all times to avoid accidents; do not let operation
or adjustment of the main unit distract you from operating the vehicle responsibly.
●
The driver should not look at the screen while driving. Doing so may result in as accident.
●
Do not place foreign objects in the disc insertion slot or USB input terminal. Fires or shocks may
result.
