CD player Mercury Montego 2006 s User Guide

Safety information
Read all the safety and operating instructions before operating the
system and retain for future reference.
•Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the Family Entertainment
DVD System. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
•Do not insert foreign objects into the DVD compartment.
The front glass on the flip-down liquid crystal display (LCD) may
break when hit with a hard surface. If the glass breaks, do not
touch the liquid crystalline material. In case of contact with skin, wash
immediately with soap and water.
Do not expose the flip-down liquid crystal display (LCD) to direct
sunlight or intensive ultraviolet rays for extensive periods of
time. Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.
•Ensure that you review User Manuals for video games and video game
equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your Family
Entertainment DVD System.
•Do not operate video games or video equipment if the power cords
and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords
and/or cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the
operation of seats and/or compartments.
•Disconnect video games and video equipment power cords and/or
cables when not in use.
•Avoid touching auxiliary input jacks with your fingers. Do not blow on
them or allow them to get wet or dirty.
•Do not clean any part of the DVD player with benzene, paint thinner
or any other solvent.
Whenever a warning notice is received, the radio volume will be
lowered to a volume that will allow the tones to be heard. The
radio volume will return to the previous level after the warning
notice is complete.

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, the Family Entertainment System (FES) may cause harmful
interference with radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, (which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or
an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Care and service of the DVD player
Environmental extremes
DVD players that are subjected to harsh environmental conditions may
be damaged or perform at less than optimal capability. To avoid these
outcomes, whenever possible avoid exposing your DVD player to:
•extremely hot or cold temperatures.
•direct sunlight.
•high humidity.
•a dusty environment.
•locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
Temperature extremes
When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.
Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the DVD player under extremely
humid conditions or when moving from a cold to a warm location. If
moisture condensation occurs, do not insert a CD or DVD into the
player. If one is already in the player, remove it and turn the DVD player
ON to dry the moisture before inserting a DVD. This could take an hour
or more depending on the amount of moisture.
Cleaning the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down screen
Clean the display screen by applying a small amount of water or any
ammonia-based household glass cleaner directly to a soft cloth. Rub the
screen gently until the dust, dirt or fingerprints are removed. Do not
spray the screen directly with water or glass cleaning solvents. Overspray
from these fluids could drip down into the internal electronics of the
screen and cause damage. Do not apply excessive pressure while
cleaning the screen.

Foreign substances
Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the DVD
player compartment. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the system,
immediately turn the system OFF and consult a qualified service
technician.
Cleaning compact discs
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to
the edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion.
Cleaning the DVD player
Clean the exterior of the DVD player with a damp cloth. Do not use CD
cleaning kits or CDs intended to clean the interior of your DVD player.
Use of these products may damage your system.
