2. PRECAUTIONS

Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car, the monitor, or the video source, and may void the warranty.

For questions or problems not covered in this manual, contact your local Clarion Dealer.

Operating

Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual.

Failure to follow instructions may void the warranty.

Do not use the unit with the ignition off. This could drain the car’s battery.

If the internal temperature of the vehicle is extremely high (over 50 degrees

Celsius), let the unit cool down a bit before you use it.

If the temperature in the car is very low (below -5 degrees Celsius), starting the unit right after you start the car with its heater running may cause moisture to form on the LCD. Turn the unit off immediately! Failure to do so may cause an electrical short. Allow about one hour for the condensation to dissipate before using the unit.

In extremely cold temperatures the picture may appear dark and move slowly. The display returns to normal when the temperature rises.

When using the system, make sure you are seated with your seat belt fastened.

Otherwise, you may hit your head on the unit if the driver breaks suddenly. In an accident, injuries can be more severe if your seat belt is not fastened.

Before leaving the car, eject the DVD disc and store it separately away from direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage DVD discs causing them not to play.

General

Do not leave the monitor extended when you’re not using it. Direct sunlight can cause the monitor to malfunction.

Do not hang onto or hang items from the overhead monitor.

6 OHM875VD / OHM1075VD / OHM1575VD

Do not pour liquid into the unit or poke foreign objects into the DVD drive slot. Water, humidity, and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry.

If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and ask your authorized Clarion Dealer to clean or service the unit.

Do not drop the unit or hit the LCD panel with a hard object. You may cause permanent damage.

If the LCD breaks, avoid touching the glass and fl uid. If you do touch the fl uid, clean it off your body and/or clothes with plenty of water, then get medical attention.

Maintenance

Do not clean the surface of the LCD with chemical solvents or corrosive detergent.

Permanent damage to the screen may result.

Do not disassemble or modify this unit. You may damage the monitor, void the warranty, and suffer electric shock.

Installation

Installation of mobile audio and video components requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although this manual provides general installation and operation instructions, it does not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle.

If you do not have the required knowledge, experience, and/or tools to successfully complete the installation, consult an authorized Clarion Dealer about professional installation options.

OHM875VD / OHM1075VD / OHM1575VD 25

Tools and additional components

You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver when mounting the player in the vehicle.

Before you begin

1.

Verify that the vehicle electrical components function, including: power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, lights, etc.

2. Identify the polarity of the dome light circuit and set the switch on the bottom of the overhead monitor housing.

3. Test fi t the location of the overhead monitor system to ensure it will not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

4. If applicable, verify that the monitor, when mounted, will not interfere with the operation of the sun roof.

5. Carefully mark the location with masking tape.

6. Lower the vehicle’s headliner down to see if a roof support beam is available to screw the mounting bracket to.

If a support beam is not available, use a 3/4-inch piece of plywood cut to the appropriate size. Attach the plywood to the roof of the vehicle using silicone. Allow for adequate drying time.

7. Determine the location of any additional audio/video sources.

8. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before making any wiring connections.

CAUTION

Do not open the case. There are no serviceable parts inside. If you drop anything into the unit during installation, consult with your Clarion Dealer or an authorized Clarion service center.

Mounting and wiring precautions

The OHM875VD / OHM1075VD / OHM1575VD should be mounted in the ceiling of the vehicle. The front panel controls should be easily accessible from the rear seat. In addition:

This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V power supply.

This unit may be in installed with additional mobile audio components, such as a digital camera.

Always use great care when attaching anything to a vehicle! Check clearances on both sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any screws.

A good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Use the shortest wire possible and securely connect it to the car chassis and the source unit ground.

26 OHM875VD / OHM1075VD / OHM1575VD

When routing RCA cables, keep them away from the power cables and output speaker wires, engine, exhaust system, etc. Heat may damage wires.

If the fuse should blow, make sure that all connections are correct, the cables have not caused a short circuit, and no wires are damaged. Then replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage value as the original fuse. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery side touch any metal part or any other wire.

Never let disconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the car or any other conducting material.

To prevent short circuits, do not remove the caps from unused terminals or from the ends of unconnected cables.

Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material.

WARNING!

To prevent short circuits during installation, disconnect the vehicle’s negative (-) battery lead before making any power connections.

Installation procedure

The OHM875VD / OHM1075VD / OHM1575VD replaces the car’s dome light. This section provides basic tips and techniques to aid the installation. These are not vehicle specifi c, but should be used as guidelines for performing the installation.

Set the polarity switch

1. Determine the polarity of the power system in the car. This information should be on a vehicle-specifi c diagram.

2. Locate the polarity switch on the back of the player (the side that will be attached to the ceiling).

9 Polarity switch

Please slide to "-" at the left position if your vehicle's power supply system is

negative. Please slide to "+" at the right position if your vehicle's power sypply

system is positive

Notes: 1 Please slide it to a side fully.

2. Do not slide this swith after Place it at a position. Otherwise, it'll be damage

Back of the player

3. If the vehicle’s power supply requires negative polarity, slide this switch to the negative (-) position. Otherwise, slide this switch to the positive (+) position.

OHM875VD / OHM1075VD / OHM1575VD 27

CAUTION

Make sure the switch is fully to one side or the other. Do not attempt to confi gure this switch once the player is in position.

4. Cut a one-inch hole in the headliner along the backside of the ceiling bracket for the cables to pass through.

Install the ceiling bracket and cables

1. Disconnect and remove the original dome light.

2. Screw the metal mounting plate to the beam or plywood using the six ST4.2 x 16 screws.

Note:

Do not cover the original dome light opening.

Connect cables

1. Pull out the original dome light’s power wire and signal/power cable through the original dome light opening.

2. Place the rubber gasket on the player.

3. Route the cables through the hole to the location of any audio/video sources.

4. Identify the dome light wires in the vehicle and connect them to the corresponding dome light wire on the overhead monitor system.

5. Plug in any audio/video source cables.

6. Plug in the power harness into the overhead monitor system in the following order: ground wire, battery wire, ACC wire and door wire.

Note:

Do not forget to connect the red ACC wire to the ignition switch.

If you do not connect this wire, the battery charge may drain off prematurely.

Install the monitor

1. Carefully hold the overhead monitor up to the metal mounting plate.

2. Screw in the four CM 4 x 8 screws making sure the wires are not in the way.

Mounting the player

3. Reconnect the battery.

4. Check the car’s brake lights, blinkers, wiper, etc. to ensure they are working properly.
