Observe the following cautions when
installing.
 Refer wiring and installation to qualifi ed 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.
Not following the instructions to properly install and
wire the product could cause an accident or fi re.
 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 fi re.
 Do 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 fi re 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.
 Installation 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.
 We strongly recommend that you wear gloves for
installation work to protect yourself from injuries.
 Make sure that wiring is completed before
installation.
 To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the
power connector until all wiring is completed.
 Never ground the speaker cords. For example, do not
use a chassis ground system or a three-wire speaker
common system. Each speaker must be connected
separately using parallel insulated wires. If in doubt
about how your car's speakers are wired, please
consult with your nearest professional installer.
