DV715B PREPARATION
WARNING
Upon installation of this Monitor/DVD player (“unit”) into a vehicle, the driver of
the vehicle must not operate this unit by watching videos or playing video games
while driving. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction
which could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons
outside the vehicle and/or property damage.
Several states prohibit the installation of monitors/DVD players if the screen is
visible from the driver’s seat. If you reside in a jurisdiction which has enacted
such a law, this unit must not be installed so that the screen is visible from the
driver’s seat. When installing this unit in the front console/dashboard, the unit
must be positioned so that it is facing the front passenger seat only. Failure
to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle
and/or property damage.
This unit is designed so that it may be operated only when the vehicle is in “Park”
and the parking brake is fully engaged. To this end, this unit includes a parking
brake lock-out feature which prohibits the unit from operating if the vehicle is not
in “Park” and/or the parking brake is not fully engaged. When installing this unit,
the installer must connect the parking brake detect wire to the parking brake
mechanism in order to make the parking brake lock-out feature operable. DO
NOT simply ground the parking brake detect wire to a metal portion of the vehicle.
Failure to properly install the parking brake lock-out feature could lead to driver
distraction which could result in serious injury or death to the driver’s occupants
or persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.
Once the parking brake lock-out feature is installed, the owner/user must not
attempt to disrupt/neutralize the parking brake lock-out feature by (a) partially
engaging the parking brake and/or (b) purchasing/using any device or unit
designed to send necessary brake signals to the unit. Failure to follow these
instructions could lead to driver distraction which could result in serious injury
or death to the driver’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or property
damage.
When operating this unit, keep the unit’s volume level low enough so that the
vehicle’s occupants can hear traffic-related sounds such as police and emergency
vehicles. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which
could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons
outside the vehicle and/or property damage.

Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install or operate.
Due to its technical nature, it is highly recommended that your DUAL %7# is installed by a professional
installer or an authorized dealer. This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.
• Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.
• Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the possibility of water
splashing.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating
may cause the unit to malfunction.
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.
• Use only the provided hardware and wire harness.
• You cannot view video while the vehicle is moving. Find a safe place to park and engage the parking brake.

your nearest DUAL dealer or call tech assistance @ 1-866-382-5476.
• To clean the monitor, wipe only with a dry silicone cloth or soft cloth. Do not use a stiff cloth, or volatile
solvents such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or remove the
printing.
• When the temperature of the unit falls (as in winter), the liquid crystal inside the screen will become
darker than usual. Normal brightness will return after using the monitor for a while.
• When extending the ignition, battery or ground cables, make sure to use automotive-grade cables or other
cables with an area of 0.75mm (AWG 18) or more to prevent voltage drops.
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD is damaged or broken. The liquid crystal fluid may be
hazardous to your health or fatal. If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body or clothing,
wash it off with soap immediately.
