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 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.

New Features
Full Digital CD Receiver
The CQ-C9901U/C9801U/C9701U uses Radio DSP for digital conversion and processing of FM/AM signals, and a digital amp to provide amplification of the digital data. With this technology, Panasonic achieves full digital processing of radio and CD signals from input to speaker output. This means faithful reproduction of the original sound.
Radio DSP
By digitally converting and processing FM/AM broadcast signals, this greatly reduces adjacent interference and multipath distortion.
A radio's IF filter has the job of preventing neighboring broadcast frequencies from interfering with reception of your desired station. Panasonic's Radio DSP uses an advanced algorithm to perform this task with digital control. It maintains the optimum balance between noise suppression and sound quality by automatically adjusting the IF filter bandwidth in response to the changing interference characteristics as you drive.
Fully Motorized Front Panel
A touch is all it takes to slide the front panel down for access to the disc slot. A three-stage tilt function permits viewing angle to be adjusted to 15, 25 or 35 degrees for optimum display visibility.
256x64 pixel 512-color OEL display (CQ-C9901U only)
Multicolored expression can be achieved thanks to OEL display. You can use this unit in your original way in collaboration with the customization function.
