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

of the unit.
Follow the instructions to install and wire the product.
Not following the instructions to properly install and wire the

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.

install the product. The use of parts other than those supplied or
designated may result in internal damage to the unit. Faulty
