Panasonic PP103910 Operating Instructions Manual page 3

Caution
Observe the following cautions when using
this unit.
q Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road
and traffic conditions while driving.
q Do not insert or allow your hand or fingers to be
caught in the unit.
To prevent injury, do not get your hand or fingers caught
in moving parts or in the disc slot. Especially watch out
for infants.
q This unit is designed for use exclusively in
trucks.
q 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.
q Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or ex-
cessive heat.
Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the
unit, and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to
the unit.
q Do not use the product where it will be 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 espe-
cially sure that the unit does not get wet in truck washes
or on rainy days.
q To ensure safety, never attempt to preset sta-
tions while you are driving.
q Depending upon the transmission condition of
electro-magnetic waves, the geographical rea-
sons and/or the weather conditions, you may
not receive the NOAA radio partially or at all.
q Make sure that your weather radio can receive
properly before driving, especially, before use
in a critical condition.
q Set 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 connec-
tion of the speaker/headphone output of an external de-
vice without any attenuator may distort sound or
damage the connected external device.
