directly without a fuse could cause fire or damage to the unit. If the replaced fuse fails, contact your nearest authorized

Panasonic Servicenter.

Caution

Observe the following cautions when using this

unit.

❑

Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic

conditions while driving.

❑

This unit is designed for use exclusively in automo-

biles.

❑

Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with the

engine turned off.

Operating the audio system for a long period of time with the

engine turned off will drain the battery.

❑

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or excessive

heat.

Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the unit,

and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit.

❑

Do not use the product where it is exposed to water,

moisture, or dust.

Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to

smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially sure

that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.

Observe the following cautions when installing.

❑

Refer wiring and installation to qualified service per-

sonnel.

Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. For

maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer. Panasonic is

not liable for any problems resulting from your own installation

of the unit.

❑

Follow the instructions to install and wire the product.

Not following the instructions to properly install and wire the

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent them

from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving

parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the

leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place heavy objects

on them. If leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect

the leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.

❑

Use the designated parts and tools for installation.

Use the supplied or designated parts and appropriate tools to

install the product. The use of parts other than those supplied or

designated may result in internal damage to the unit. Faulty

installation may lead to an accident, a malfunction or fire.

❑

Do not block the air vent or the cooling plate of the unit.

Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to over-

heat and will result in fire or other damage.

❑

Do not install the product where it is exposed to strong

vibrations or is unstable.

Avoid slanted or strongly curved surfaces for installation. If the

installation is not stable, the unit may fall down while driving and

this can lead to an accident or injury.

restrictions on how and where this unit can be installed. Consult

your dealer for further details.

❑

Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring is com-

pleted before installation.

❑

To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the

power connector until the whole wiring is completed.

❑

Do not connect more than one speaker to one set of

speaker leads. (except for connecting to a tweeter)

state (has foreign matter in it, is exposed to water, is smoking, or

smells), turn it off immediately and consult your dealer.

❑

The remote control unit should not lie about in the car.

If the remote control unit lies about, it could fall on the floor while

driving, get wedged under the brake pedal, and lead to a traffic

accident.

❑

Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.

with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified service engi-

neer. Incorrect replacement of the fuse may lead to smoke, fire,

and damage to the product.

Observe the following warnings when installing.

❑

Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery termi-

nal before installation.

Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal con-

nected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short circuit.

Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have specific

procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE

UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM

RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL

INJURY OR DEATH.

❑

Never use safety-related components for installation,

grounding, and other such functions.

suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.) for wiring or fix-

ing the product or its accessories.

❑

Installing the product on the air bag cover or in a location

where it interferes with airbag operation is prohibited.

❑

Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and other

items before installing the product.

If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach or wire

the product, first check where the wire harness, gasoline tank, and

electric wiring are located. Then open the hole from outside if pos-

sible.

❑

with your field of vision.

❑

Never have the power cord branched to supply other

equipment with power.

❑

After installation and wiring, you should check the nor-

mal operation of other electrical equipment.

fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

❑

In the case of installation to an airbag-equipped car, con-

firm warnings and cautions of the vehicle manufacturer

before installation.

❑

Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or get-

ting in and out of the vehicle.

❑

Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuiting.
