General Instructions
SAFETY:
•Safety is dependent on the proper installation and servicing of this docking station. It is important
to read and follow all instructions before installing this product.
•Proper installation requires a good understanding of automotive electrical systems and is
recommended to be performed by qualified technicians only.
•There are no adjustments or user serviceable parts within the docking station. Opening the docking
station will void the product warranty
•Do not install equipment or route wires in the deployment path of any air bag, or where it may
interfere with critical safety or operating controls of any vehicle.
POWER:
•The power input should be 15.0Vdc / 8 A. The dock is meant to operate on 14.5 Vdc to 16 Vdc. Use
a recommended power supply for the dock. Panasonic recommends using a Lind Auto Adapter
(PMT part#: PS001) for this dock.
WIRING:
•PMT does not recommend relying on a cigarette socket adaptor for powering vehicle docks. We
recommend hard wiring the power adapter using a good clean ground direct from the vehicle
battery neg(-) post, and pos(+) supply from a fused 12vdc location also directly from the vehicle
battery. All peripherals connecting to the docking station requiring external power should get
power and ground from the same location as the dock.
