RRead the operating instructions for the
unit and all other components of your car
navigation system carefully before using
the system. They contain instructions
about how to use the system in a safe and
effective manner. Panasonic assumes no
responsibility for any problems resulting
from failure to observe the instructions
given in this manual.
This pictograph alerts you
to the presence of important
operating instructions.
Failure to heed the
instructions may result in
severe injury or death.
Warning
This pictograph alerts you
to the presence of important
operating instructions. Failure
to heed the instructions may
result in injury or material
damage.
Caution
Observe the following warnings
when using this unit.
RAlways reverse slowly, checking for safety
with your own eyes.
The camera image is perceived differently from
the actual distance. The field of view which can
be displayed is also limited. Reverse slowly,
checking safety by eye, rather than relying on
the screen. Reversing without checking safety
can cause collisions with people and objects.
RAlways use a fuse of the specified capacity.
Ask a specialist engineer to replace the fuse.
If the fuse used exceeds the specified capacity,
it can cause fire, smoke, ignition and other
breakdowns. Consult your dealer or service
center to request fuse replacement or repair.
RDo not continue using the system when it has
broken down or malfunctioned.
If there is a breakdown (no image, no sound,
etc.) or malfunctions (a foreign object inside,
water on the components, smoke comes out,
abnormal noise or odor, etc.), immediately
stop using it, then consult your dealer or
service center. Continued use in that state
could cause fire, electric shock or accident.
Warning
RThis manual uses pictographs to show you
how to use the product safely and to alert
you to potential dangers resulting from
improper connections and operations.
The meanings of the pictographs are
explained below. It is important that you
fully understand the meanings of the
pictographs in order to use this manual
and the system properly.
Safety information

Observe the following cautions
when using this unit.
RDo not use this system for any purpose other
than mounting on a road vehicle.
Non-vehicular use (such as use outdoors
or on a pleasure boat) could cause smoking
generation, ignition, electric shock, injury and
breakdown.
RDo not use an automatic car–washing
machine to wash the vehicle.
Exposure to water from a high pressure hose
or impact from a brush may cause the system
to fall resulting in accident or injury. Water
entering inside the camera can result in a fire,
electric shock or breakdown.
Observe the following cautions
when installing.
RDo not damage cords.
Do not damage, pull, bend, twist or modify
cords, place heavy objects on them, or place
them near hot equipment or in contact with
hot parts of the vehicle. Breaking or shorting
cords could cause fire, electric shock, or
accidents.
ORoute cords so that they cannot be pinched
by the body of the vehicle, screws or
moving parts (seat rails etc.).
ODo not press cords with the point of a
screwdriver or similar implement.
Caution
RDo not damage the rear view camera cord.
Water and moisture can move along the cord
from the damaged area and enter the camera,
causing fire, electric shock and breakdown.
RRoute the rear view camera cord inside
the vehicle, so that water cannot penetrate
them.
If water enters the vehicle during rain or car
washing, it could cause fire or electric shock.
ROrder wiring, mounting and dismounting
work from a specialist engineer.
Wiring, mounting and dismounting work
requires specialist skills and experience. For
safety, ask your dealer to perform such work.
In the case that this system is installed in a
vehicle with a drive computer or a navigation
system, improper removal of the battery may
result in erasure of system’s memory.
ROnly use the accessories provided and the
parts specified.
Use of non-specified parts can cause internal
damage to the equipment, and insecure
mounting could allow it to fall off, causing
accident, breakdown and fire.
RMount the equipment securely, so that it
cannot come off and fall.
Wipe the mounting area clean of dirt, wax
etc., then fasten the camera securely in place.
Re-affixing adhesive parts or use of general-
purpose double-sided tape could cause weak
bonding that would allow the equipment to
drop off while the vehicle is in motion, causing
accident or injury. Check the state of bonding
or mounting (loose screws etc.) occasionally.

If you suspect something wrong
Check and take steps as described below.
If the described suggestions do not solve the problem, it is recommended to take the unit
to your nearest authorized Panasonic Servicenter. The product should be serviced only by
qualified personnel. Please refer checking and repair to professionals.
Panasonic shall not be liable for any accidents arising out of neglect of checking the unit or
your own repair after your checking.
Never take measures especially those other than indicated by italic letters in “Possible
solution” described below because those are too dangerous for users to handle
themselves.
Warning
ODo not use the unit in an irregular condition, for example, without sound, or with smoke
or a foul smell, which can cause ignition or electric shock. Immediately stop using the
unit and consult your dealer.
ONever try to repair the unit by yourself because it is dangerous to do so.

Specifications

Observe the following warnings
when installing.
RUse on a DC 12 V grounded vehicle.
This system can only be used on a DC 12 V 
grounded vehicle. It cannot be used in DC 24 V
and other battery system (large trucks, diesel
vehicles for use in cold regions, etc.). Use on
such vehicles would cause fire and breakdown.
RDisconnect the battery terminal during
performing any wiring or installation work.
Wiring or installation work with the battery 
terminal connected could cause electric shock
and injury from shorting.
RThis system should be installed in a way so
that operation of vehicle protective devices
such as an air bag is not hindered.
Should this system be installed in a vehicle
with a protective device such as an air bag
or an anti-theft system, check with the car
manufacturer about operational cautions
prior to attempting installation and perform
the installation in a safe and proper manner.
Improper removal of the battery may result in
a malfunction of a device or possibly death.
RNever use the security parts of the vehicle
for mounting or grounding the system.
Use of the bolts or nuts of security parts
(steering, brake systems, fuel tank etc.) can
cause brake failure, fire, or other accidents.
RCheck positions of pipes, tanks, electric
wirings in the vehicle when mounting.
Never interfere with or touch pipes, tanks,
or electric wirings when opening holes in
the vehicle body for installation. Apply rust
prevention and waterproofing treatments to
the processed area, as rust or water leakage
may result in a fire, an electric shock, or other
accident.
RRoute cords so that they do not get in the
way of occupants driving or getting into or
out of the vehicle.
Route cords so that they do not tangle with the
steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, feet
etc., and bundle and fasten them appropriately.
Poorly arranged cords can cause accident and
injury.
RWire and mount the system as instructed.
Fire or accident could result if wiring and
mounting do not properly follow the operating
instructions.
RDo not attempt to disassemble, repair or
modify the system.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or modify
the system, or to remove cord insulation to
take power supply from other devices. Fire,
electric shock or accident could result.
RAfter mounting and wiring the system, check
that all vehicle systems function normally.
If any vehicle equipment (brakes, lights, horn,
hazard and indicator lights etc.) does not work
normally, fire, electric shock or accident could
result.
RKeep screws and other small components
away from small children.
There is a risk that they could swallow
small components. Seek immediate medical
attention if that happens.
Warning

Carefully read the instruction manuals for the connected devices (Car
Monitor etc.).
Before reversing, always check behind you by eye.
OThis product uses mirrored display (which mimics the orientation of the rear-view and side
mirrors), and is for checking the view behind the vehicle.
OIt is intended to augment the driver’s field of vision behind the vehicle. It is not able to view
all hazards and obstacles.
OIt uses a wide-angle lens, which makes close areas appear wider and further areas narrower.
This may cause perceived distances to differ from actual distances.
This product can be connected to a monitor etc. with RCA-type video inputs. When the
shift lever is in reverse (R), the linkage function (camera interrupt display) and scaled
display correspond to the connected display device, so we are unable to guarantee normal
operation.
Check the mounting of the system components regularly
OCheck that there are no loose screws, and that the camera bracket is not detached.
OCheck that the rubber water seals where the cord enters the vehicle are parallel to the rubber
gasket where they are in contact.
Do not display a direct view of the sun for long periods
OA burned image could remain on the screen.
Do not use a cellular telephone or wireless equipment close
to the system
OScreen noise and malfunctions could result.
You are advised to use cellular telephone or wireless equipment away from this system.
Disclaimers
OAny repairs to breakdowns or damage caused by fire, earthquake, third-party action, other
accident, actions of the user, whether by accident or design, incorrect operation or usage
under other abnormal conditions will, as a rule, require payment of repair fees.
ONot guaranteed when equipped in a commercial-use vehicle (buses, trucks, taxis, goods
vehicles etc.).
Notes on use

Pesticide
Alcohol
Thinner
Benzine
Wax
Caution on cleaning
ODo not wipe with volatile chemicals, such as alcohol, benzine, thinners and gasoline. These
can cause deformation, deterioration and breakage.
ODo not wipe with cleaners that contain abrasive particles, as they leave scratches.
OIf the lens is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, moist cloth. Wiping strongly with a dry cloth
will damage the lens.
Product servicing
If the suggestions in the charts do not solve the problem, we recommend that you take it to
your nearest authorized Panasonic Servicenter. The product should be serviced only by a
qualified technician.
Replacing the Fuse
Use fuses of the same specified rating (1 A). Using different substitutes or fuses with higher
rating, or connecting the product directly without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to this
unit.
If the replacement of the fuse fails, consult your nearest authorized Panasonic Servicenter
for service.
