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

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 stations
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
experience. For maximum safety, have it installed by the
shop where you purchased it. Panasonic is not liable for

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
