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.

Liquid Crystal Panel

¡Do not cause impact to the liquid crystal panel.
¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C

When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the
image may not appear clearly or may move slowly.
Also, movement of the image may seem to be out of
synchronization or the image quality is not malfunc­tion or problem.

¡In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it out

of direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.

¡Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car such

as those which occur immediately after the car’s air
conditioner or heater has been turned on may cause
condensation (droplets of water) to form and, as a
result, the panel may not work properly. Do not use
the unit while these symptoms are in evidence but
leave the unit standing for about and hour, and then
resume or start use.
