What the customize function does
This function enables the user to rewrite the unit's
graphic pattern, still picture or opening or closing
moving picture into a desired replacement image.
Image data which can be changed
≥ Data downloaded from Panasonic's dedicated
web site
≥ Data generated by a PC
The rewriting process is performed using a CD-R/RW
disc on which the replacement data is recorded.
The replacement data and the application (IMAGE
STUDIO) for creating the replacement data using a PC
can be downloaded from the following web site:
http://panasonic.co.jp/pas/en/software/customize/
index.html

Note:
≥ Do not write data on the CD-R/RW disc if, by
so doing, the maximum allowed number of fi les
listed below will be exceeded. If fi les are written
on the CD-R/RW disc in a number which exceeds
the maximum number of fi les allowed as given in
the table below, it will not be possible to use the
excess fi les.

Opening image .pfo 5
Closing image .pfe 5
≥ Do not write any data except data for customizing
on the CD-R/RW disc.
≥ Do not change the fi le extension since doing so
will make it impossible for the image to be written
properly.
≥ When data is to be recorded on the CD-R/RW
disc, be absolutely sure to record it in the root
directory (the highest hierarchical level). Do not
write the data in a folder.
≥ When a CD-RW disc has been inserted into the unit,
it may take a few moments for its data to be loaded.
≥ GRAPHIC PATTERN A and STILL IMAGE No.1
cannot be overwritten.
≥ The bigger the fi le, the longer customizing will take
(approx. 8 minutes for the largest fi le with 751KB).
≥ When the power is turned off, when the engine
is stopped or when the panel is released while
customizing is underway, the customizing
operation will be aborted and the data being
rewritten will be lost. In a case like this, proceed
with the customizing operation again.
≥ If the corrupted data is selected, "DISPLAY FILE
INCOMPLETE" appears.
≥ Do not perform any operations while customizing
is in progress (step 7-2).
≥ To return to the default image, download the
applicable fi le on the web site (page 50) and,
using the CD-R/RW disc containing this fi le,
perform the rewriting process again.
≥ The download service may be temporarily shut
down without warning due to unspecifi ed reasons.
Furthermore, it may not always be available in all
areas.
≥ For further details, refer to Panasonic's web site
at the address provided below.
