O
Please read these instructions carefully before using this product and keep this
manual for future reference.
Safety information
R
Read the operating instructions for the
unit and all other components of your car
navigation system carefully before using
the system. They contain instructions
about how to use the system in a safe and
effective manner. Panasonic assumes no
responsibility for any problems resulting
from failure to observe the instructions
given in this manual.
This pictograph alerts you
to the presence of important
operating instructions.
Failure to heed the
Warning
instructions may result in
severe injury or death.
Warning
Observe the following warnings
when using this unit.
R Always reverse slowly, checking for safety
with your own eyes.
The camera image is perceived differently from
the actual distance. The fi eld of view which can
be displayed is also limited. Reverse slowly,
checking safety by eye, rather than relying on
the screen. Reversing without checking safety
can cause collisions with people and objects.
R Always use a fuse of the specifi ed capacity.
Ask a specialist engineer to replace the fuse.
If the fuse used exceeds the specifi ed capacity,
it can cause fi re, smoke, ignition and other
breakdowns. Consult your dealer or service
centre to request fuse replacement or repair.
R
This manual uses pictographs to show you
how to use the product safely and to alert
you to potential dangers resulting from
improper connections and operations.
The meanings of the pictographs are
explained below. It is important that you
fully understand the meanings of the
pictographs in order to use this manual
and the system properly.
This pictograph alerts you
to the presence of important
operating instructions. Failure
to heed the instructions may
Caution
result in injury or material
damage.
R Do not continue using the system when it has
broken down or malfunctioned.
If there is a breakdown (no image, no sound,
etc.) or malfunctions (a foreign object inside,
water on the components, smoke comes out,
abnormal noise or odor, etc.), immediately
stop using it, then consult your dealer or
service centre. Continued use in that state
could cause fi re, electric shock or accident.
Caution
Observe the following cautions
when using this unit.
R Do not use this system for any purpose other
than mounting on a road vehicle.
Non-vehicular use (such as use outdoors
or on a pleasure boat) could cause smoking
generation, ignition, electric shock, injury and
breakdown.
R Do not use an automatic car–washing
machine to wash the vehicle.
Exposure to water from a high pressure hose
or impact from a brush may cause the system
to fall resulting in accident or injury. Water
entering inside the camera can result in a fi re,
electric shock or breakdown.
Observe the following cautions
when installing.
R Do not damage cords.
Do not damage, pull, bend, twist or modify
cords, place heavy objects on them, or place
them near hot equipment or in contact with
hot parts of the vehicle. Breaking or shorting
cords could cause fi re, electric shock, or
accidents.
O
Route cords so that they cannot be pinched
by the body of the vehicle, screws or
moving parts (seat rails etc.).
O
Do not press cords with the point of a
screwdriver or similar implement.
R Do not damage the rear view camera cord.
Water and moisture can move along the cord
from the damaged area and enter the camera,
causing fi re, electric shock and breakdown.
R Route the rear view camera cord inside
the vehicle, so that water cannot penetrate
them.
If water enters the vehicle during rain or car
washing, it could cause fi re or electric shock.
R Order wiring, mounting and dismounting
work from a specialist engineer.
Wiring, mounting and dismounting work
requires specialist skills and experience. For
safety, ask your dealer to perform such work.
In the case that this system is installed in a
vehicle with a drive computer or a navigation
system, improper removal of the battery may
result in erasure of system’s memory.
R Only use the accessories provided and the
parts specifi ed.
Use of non-specifi ed parts can cause internal
damage to the equipment, and insecure
mounting could allow it to fall off, causing
accident, breakdown and fi re.
R Mount the equipment securely, so that it
cannot come off and fall.
Wipe the mounting area clean of dirt, wax
etc., then fasten the camera securely in place.
Re-affi xing adhesive parts or use of generalpurpose double-sided tape could cause weak
bonding that would allow the equipment to
drop off while the vehicle is in motion, causing
accident or injury. Check the state of bonding
or mounting (loose screws etc.) occasionally.
Notes on use
Carefully read the instruction manuals for the connected devices (Car
Monitor etc.).
Before reversing, always check behind you by eye.
O
This product uses mirrored display (which mimics the orientation of the rear-view and side
mirrors), and is for checking the view behind the vehicle.
O
It is intended to augment the driver’s fi eld of vision behind the vehicle. It is not able to view
all hazards and obstacles.
O
It uses a wide-angle lens, which makes close areas appear wider and further areas narrower.
This may cause perceived distances to differ from actual distances.
This product can be connected to a monitor etc. with RCA-type video inputs. When the
shift lever is in reverse (R), the linkage function (camera interrupt display) and scaled
display correspond to the connected display device, so we are unable to guarantee normal
operation.
Check the mounting of the system components regularly
O
Check that there are no loose screws, and that the camera bracket is not detached.
O
Check that the rubber water seals where the cord enters the vehicle are parallel to the rubber
gasket where they are in contact.
Do not display a direct view of the sun for long periods
O
A burned image could remain on the screen.
Do not use a cellular telephone or wireless equipment close
to the system
O
Screen noise and malfunctions could result.
You are advised to use cellular telephone or wireless equipment away from this system.
Disclaimers
O
Any repairs to breakdowns or damage caused by fi re, earthquake, third-party action, other
accident, actions of the user, whether by accident or design, incorrect operation or usage
under other abnormal conditions will, as a rule, require payment of repair fees.
O
Not guaranteed when equipped in a commercial-use vehicle (buses, trucks, taxis, goods
vehicles etc.).
