Safety Information  
(continued)  
Caution  
Use the spacer included when installing the unit so  
that the fan and air hole on the base side of the unit  
are not covered. <CY-PAD1003W>  
Caution for the power cord (option):  
Follow an expert’s instruction for the use of the cord  
separately sold.  
Observe the following cautions when installing.  
Refer wiring and installation to qualified service  
personnel.  
If the fan and air hole on the base side of the unit are  
covered, the unit will become extremely hot and may  
fail.  
For the power, make sure to use the battery lead (yellow)  
separately sold and specially designed for Panasonic  
car-audio/AV system, and to connect directly to the car  
battery. Use the cord having the fuse capacity larger  
than that of this unit. Connect the power cord and other  
cords corresponding to the power supply after all the  
connections to the speaker are completed.  
Keep the battery lead (yellow) away from the speaker  
cord.  
Make sure to use the ground lead (black) separately  
sold and specially designed for car audio system, and  
to connect it to the metal portion of the car chassis.  
Wire the battery lead (yellow), the ground lead (black),  
the speaker cords, and this unit with as much distance  
as possible from the antenna, the antenna cords and  
the car stereo (car radio).  
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 fire.  
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 fire.  
Caution for mounting the unit:  
Never mount the unit in any of the following locations  
to avoid damage due to overheating;  
• Near the heater port.  
• Places like the dashboard or rear deck, where it may  
be exposed to direct sunlight.  
Do not mount the unit near the door, where it could be  
exposed to rain.  
Keep a safe distance between the unit and other  
electronic equipment.  
When a short circuit occurs, such as in the speaker  
output terminal, etc. the overload protection circuit will  
operate. This circuit protects the power amplifier from  
further damage when a short circuit occurs. Operation  
will temporarily stop. In this case, check the cause of  
the short-circuit and if the problem is fixed, normal  
operation will resume.  
If the ground wire is common to both left/right and  
front/rear speaker wirings, this unit cannot be used.  
Always use the independent lead wire for the speakers  
to be used. In this case, redo the wiring.  
Since the power amplifier has a very large output, the  
unit should be installed in the trunk of your car.  
Do not install this unit under a carpet, otherwise the  
unit may fail because of immature heat dissipation.  
In case more than one power amplifier is used, make  
sure to employ the power cord and the fuse having  
the current capacity larger than the total current  
corresponding to the maximum consumption powers  
of all the amplifiers.  
Caution for the speaker cord (option):  
The speaker cords and the power amplifier unit should  
be kept away from the antenna and antenna extension  
cord.  
Do not directly ground the speaker cords; do not share  
the negative leads of multiple speakers.  
When using the RCA cords, keep away from the  
speaker cords.  
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.  
We strongly recommended you to wear gloves for  
installation work to protect yourself from injuries.  
Failure to heed this caution may result in an accident  
and/or injury.  
Caution for the speaker (option):  
Use speakers with a suitable maximum input.  
In case of 4-channel/3-channel connection  
<CY-PA4003W>:  
Use speakers with the impedance of 28 .  
In case of 2-channel/stereo connection:  
Use speakers with the impedance of 48 .  
Be sure to grip both sides of this unit securely before  
attempting to move it.  
Since this unit is quite heavy, the unit may fall down  
and this can lead to an accident or injury.  
Cover the unused terminals with insulating tape to  
prevent them from short circuiting.  
When an extension lead is used, it should be as  
thick and short as possible; connect it firmly with  
insulating tape.  
Wire breaks and short circuits can cause electrical  
shock or fire.
