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.
❑ This unit is designed for use exclusively in automo-
biles.
❑ 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 per-
sonnel.
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.
Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to over-
heat and will result in fire or other damage.
❑ 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.

The product should be installed in a horizontal position with the
front end up at a convenient angle, but not more than 30˚.

restrictions on how and where this unit must be installed.
Consult your dealer for further details.
❑ Wear gloves for safety. Make sure that wiring is com-
pleted before installation.
❑ To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the
power connector until the whole wiring is completed.

speaker leads. (except for connecting to a tweeter)
