Use the proper power supply.

This product is designed for operation with a negative grounded 12 V DC battery system. Never operate this product with other battery systems, especially a 24 V DC battery system.

Protect the Deck Mechanism.

Do not insert any foreign objects into the slot of this unit.

Do not disassemble or modify the unit.

Do not disassemble, modify the unit or attempt to repair the product yourself. If the product needs to be repaired, consult your dealer or an authorized Panasonic Service Centre.

Do not use the unit when it is out of order.

If the unit is out of order (no power, no sound) or in an abnormal 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 blows out, eliminate the cause and have it replaced with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified service engineer. 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 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 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 fixing 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 possible.

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 normal operation of other electrical equipment.

The continuation of their using in abnormal conditions may cause fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping car, confirm 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

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.

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.

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

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

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 can 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)

Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to overheat and will result in fire or other damage.

WHEN OPEN.

DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.

Caution: This product utilizes a laser.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Do not take apart this unit or attempt to make any changes yourself.

This unit is a very intricate device that uses a laser pickup to retrieve information from the surface of compact discs. The laser is carefully shielded so that its rays remain inside the cabinet.

Therefore, never try to disassemble the player or alter any of its parts since you may be exposed to laser rays and dangerous voltages.

RDS Basics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some FM stations are broadcasting added data compatible with RDS. This unit offers convenient functions using such data.

 

 

RDS service availability varies with areas. Please understand if RDS service is not available in your area, the following serv-

 

 

ice is not available, either. This chapter explains the summary and operation regarding RDS.

 

 

The following functions are available when receiving RDS stations.

Programme Service Name (PS)

Display

The name of the station is displayed.

Alternative Frequency (AF)

When reception is poor, an RDS station broadcasting the same programme is tuned in automatically.

Traffic Programme (TP)

Some RDS FM stations periodically provide a traffic announcement.

Stations which broadcast the traffic announcement are called Traffic Programme (TP).

Traffic Announcement (TA)

Radio announcements on traffic conditions.

Clock Time (CT) Service

When receiving an RDS station, the CT service automatically adjusts the time.

NO CTis displayed in areas where CT service is not available. (a Page 11 for Clock Setting)

Programme Type (PTY) Display

RDS FM stations provide a programme type identification signal.

Example: news, rock, classical music, etc. (a Page 17)

Programme Identification (PI)

Each programme has its own number. This may be used to search for another frequency on which the same programme is broadcast.

Region (REG)

Each region has its own number. This may be used to identify the region where the station you are now listening to is located.
