Care and Maintenance  
Troubleshooting  
Your Vizualogic® System is a product of superior design and craftsmanship  
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help to fulfill any  
warranty obligations and provide many years of enjoyment.  
• No Display: (Screen is blank)  
- Point remote control at screen and press “POWER” button.  
- Verify 12V power is correctly supplied to Video Controller.  
- Verify that monitor cable is connected to Video Controller.  
- Verify that 12V circuit is on (i.e., ignition position).  
• Cleaning the Monitor Screen and Housing: The components may be cleaned  
by occasional gentle wiping with a soft, lint-free, cotton cloth that has been  
slightly dampened with water.  
• No Video: (Blue screen)  
- Make sure all cables are connected correctly.  
- Make sure Source (DVD player, etc…) is “ON.”  
- Make sure Source (DVD player, etc…) is in “PLAY” mode.  
- Press TV/AV button to ensure correct Input is selected.  
CAUTION: Do not use liquids, abrasives, aerosol cleaners, or paper  
cleaning products because they will result in permanent damage to the  
finish of your components! The LCD screen is made of a specially coated  
glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based  
window cleaners.  
• Use and Storage:  
- These units contain precision electronics that must be protected from dust,  
dirt, and moisture.  
- Never spill liquids on any of the components. Liquids, humidity, and  
precipitation contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.  
• Take care to avoid the following:  
- Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. Do not drop, knock, or  
shake the components.  
- Do not attempt to paint or refinish the components. Paint can clog moving  
parts and prevent proper operation.  
- The components can be damaged by non-expert handling. Attempting to  
open any of the components may void the limited warranty.
