Caution

instructions. Failure to heed the instructions may result in
injury or material damage.

Observe the following warnings when installing.

 Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery

terminal before installation.

Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal
connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short
circuit. Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have
specifi c 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
fi xing 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, fi rst check where the wire harness, gasoline tank,
and electric wiring are located. Then open the hole from outside
if possible.

 Never install the product in a location where it interferes

with your fi eld of vision.

 Never have the power cord branched to supply other

equipment with power.

 After installation and wiring, you should check the

normal operation of other electrical equipment.

The continuation of their using in abnormal conditions may cause
fi re, electrical shock or a traffi c accident.

 In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping

car, confi rm warnings and cautions of the vehicle
manufacturer before installation.

 Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or

getting in and out of the vehicle.

 Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuiting.

Caution

 Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffi c
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, fi re, 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, fi re, or other damage to the unit. Make especially sure that
the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.

 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.

 Refer wiring and installation to qualifi ed 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
product could cause an accident or fi re.

 Take care not to damage the leads.

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 fi re.

 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 fi re 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 must be installed. Consult
your dealer for further details.

 Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring is

completed 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 handling the battery
for the remote control unit.

• Use only specifi ed battery (CR2025).

• Match the polarity of the battery with the (+) and (–) marks in the
battery case.

• Replace a dead battery as soon as possible.

• Do not disassemble, recharge, heat or short the battery. Do not
throw a battery into a fi re or water.

In case of battery leakage

• Thoroughly wipe the battery liquid off the battery case and insert
new battery.

• If any part of your body or clothing comes into contact with
battery liquid, wash it with plenty of water.

• If battery liquid comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with plenty of water and get immediate medical attention.
