Installation precautions  
Features  
Choose a mounting location in your  
vehicle where the unit will not distract  
or otherwise interfere with the driver’s  
ability to control the vehicle.  
Your new video monitor features the  
following:  
• TFT Active Matrix LCD display  
Do not install components in areas  
which are susceptible to rain, moisture,  
direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold,  
excessive dust, dirt or humidity.  
• Overhead console mounting  
bracket  
• On-screen menu system  
• Audio/video input controls  
• Dual built-in dome lights  
• Wireless remote control  
If installation requires drilling holes or  
other modifications to the vehicle,  
consult with your nearest dealer or  
professional car audio installer.  
Use only the installation parts and  
hardware provided with the unit to  
ensure proper installation. Using other  
parts can cause malfunction and  
possible damage to your Sound Storm  
video monitor.  
What is included?  
When first unpacking your new flip-  
down monitor, please check first that  
the package contains all of the items  
below. If something is missing, contact  
the store where you purchased the  
player.  
Use only a power source with 12 Volts  
DC (negative ground).  
Before final installation, temporarily  
connect the wiring according to the  
diagram near the end of this manual,  
check it to ensure that it has been  
connected properly, and test the unit  
to make sure it is working correctly.  
• LCD monitor housing  
• Wireless remote control with  
battery  
After the monitor is installed, do not  
arbitrarily pull it down or strike it. This  
may loosen the mounting screws and  
cause it to fall down.  
• Video/power interface cable  
with inline fuse  
• Metal mounting plate  
• Black machine screws  
(for attaching monitor to mounting plate)  
Operating precautions  
Turn the unit off when it is not in use.  
Avoid dropping any metal objects or  
inflammable items into the monitor  
ventilation slots.  
Do not place objects on or suspend  
objects from the power cord, as this  
may damage the cord.

Monitor installation  
CAUTION: Make sure the  
screws are NOT long enough  
to go through the roof!  
If you have any doubts about this type of installation, please consult  
your local mobile electronics retailer. Making holes in the roof of  
your vehicle will cause damage which is expensive to repair.  
Attach the monitor mounting plate  
by screwing through the headliner  
and into the existing roof supports  
or the wood bracket you made (see  
TIP below).  
NOTE  
Hardware shown in this illustration  
is not provided due to varying  
installation requirements.  
Thread all the wires through the  
round hole in the center of the  
mounting plate.  
Install the monitor onto the  
mounting plate, using at least six  
of the screws provided.  
INSTALLATION TIP  
Make a MOUNTING BRACKET outof wood. This bracket mounts under the headliner,  
and provides a mounting surface to which the housing of the flip-down monitor can  
be attached.

and push it up into the monitor base until you hear a “click.” Test that it is secured  
by gently pulling down on monitor frame.
