Important Notice

It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle which is equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle.

Television Reception

This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing pre-recorded movies or playing video games.

Television reception in a moving vehicle will be limited and in some areas will not be possible due to weak and variable signal strength. Television viewing in a stationary vehicle will result in an improvement, but may still be marginal due to strength. The quality of the picture will not be consistent with home TV reception. Reception may be affected by the weather and distance from the TV station. A weak signal may cause the picture to roll, be snowy, or cause some color loss.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Flexvision

LCM1042TV drop down TV/Video monitor. The

LCM1042TV has been designed to give you and your family many years of video entertainment in the mobile environment. Please read the directions that follow to familiarize yourself with the product and to ensure that you obtain the best results from your equipment.

Please note: Installation options vary, see the individual owner’s manuals for each component in your system to obtain a full understanding of each component’s operation.

For safety reasons, when changing video tapes or

DVD’s it is recommended that you not allow children to unfasten seat belts to change tapes or make adjustments to the system while vehicle is in motion. System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote control unit, while seat belts remain fastened.
