Caution

Observe the following cautions when using this unit.

RKeep the sound volume at an appropriate level.

Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic conditions while driving.

RThis unit is designed for use exclusively in automobiles. RDo 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.

RDo 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.

RDo 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.

RSet 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.

RRefer 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.

RFollow 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.

RTake 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.

RUse 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.

RDo 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.

RDo 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.

RInstallation 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.

RWear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring is completed before installation.

RTo prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the power connector until the whole wiring is completed.

RDo 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 specified battery (CR2025).

•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.

Observe the following cautions when using USB device. \CQ-RX400U\

•Do not connect a USB device directly to this unit. If the USB device is connected directly to this unit and an accident occurs, or if the brakes are applied suddenly, the driver or passenger may bump into the USB device and may get injured.

•Position the USB device and USB extension cable so that they do not obstruct your driving.

•Do not connect any USB device other than USB memory, a USB audio player or iPod series. Do not connect multiple USB devices to the USB connector. Drawing power for multiple USB devices from the connector could cause overheating and smoking.
