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 automobiles.

❑

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 personnel.

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 prod-

uct could cause an accident or fire.

❑

Take care not to damage the leads.

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 instal-

lation 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 overheat

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.

❑

Installation Angle

The product should be installed in a horizontal position with the

front end up at a convenient angle, but not more than 30˚.

The user should bear in mind that in some areas there may be

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

your dealer for further details.

❑

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

ed 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)

Observe the following cautions when using Front

Panel AUX.

❑

Set the volume to low enough before the AUX connection

is completed.

Failure to observe this may cause loud noise and, conse-

quently, damage your speakers and your hearing.

❑

Do not connect this AUX directly with a speaker/head-

phone output. Failure to observe this may distort sound

and break the internal amplifier.

Safety Information

Warning

Observe the following warnings when using this

unit.

❑

The driver should neither watch the display nor operate

er from looking ahead of the vehicle and can cause accidents.

Always stop the vehicle in a safe location and use the parking

brake before watching the display or operating the system.

❑

Use the proper power supply.

This product is designed for operation with a negative grounded

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

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

❑

Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.

When the fuse burns out, eliminate the cause and have it replaced

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.

Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank, brake,

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.

❑

Never install the product in a location where it interferes

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.

confirm warnings and cautions of the vehicle manufactur-

er 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.

¡ Do not touch the underside of a disc.

¡ Do not scratch on a disc.

¡ Do not bend a disc.

¡ When not in use, keep a disc in a case.

Do not use irregularly shaped discs.

Do not leave discs in the following places:

¡ Direct sunlight

¡ Near car heaters
