brake, suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.)
for wiring or fixing the product or its accessories.
q Installing the product on the air bag cover or
in a location where it interferes with airbag
operation is prohibited.
q 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 possible.
q Never install the product in a location where it
interferes with your field of vision.
q Never have the power cord branched to supply
other equipment with power.
q After installation and wiring, you should check
the normal operation of other electrical equipment.
The continuation of their using in abnormal conditions
may cause fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

Caution
Observe the following cautions when using
this unit.
q Keep the sound volume at an appropriate
level.
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road
and traffic conditions while driving.
q Do not insert or allow your hand or fingers to
be caught in the unit.
To prevent injury, do not get your hand or fingers caught
in moving parts or in the disc slot. Especially watch out
for infants.
q This unit is designed for use exclusively in
automobiles.
q 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.
q 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.
q To ensure safety, never attempt to preset sta-
tions while you are driving.
q Depending upon the transmission condition
of electro-magnetic waves, the geographical
reasons and/or the weather conditions, you
may not receive the NOAA radio partially or at
all.
q Make sure that your weather radio can receive
properly before driving, especially, before use
in a critical condition.
q Set the volume level to low enough before the
AUX connection is completed.
Failure to observe this, the loud noise may come out and
damage your speakers and your hearing. Direct connection of the speaker/headphone output of an external
device without any attenuator may distort sound or damage the connected external device.
Observe the following cautions when installing.
q Refer wiring and installation to qualified
service personnel.
Installation of this unit requires special skills and experi-
ence. For maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer
or an authorized Panasonic Servicenter. Panasonic is not
liable for any problems resulting from your own installation of the unit.
q Follow the instruction to install and wire the
product.
Not following the instructions to properly install and wire
the product could cause an accident or fire.
q 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.
q Use the designated parts and tools for instal-
lation.
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.
q 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.
q 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.
q 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.
q Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring
is completed before installation.
q To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect
the power connector until the whole wiring is
completed.
q Do not connect more than one speaker to one
set of speaker leads. (except for connecting to
a tweeter)
