							CAUTION 
312
Warning(1) Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or 
storing the battery, the battery  emits an unusual smell, feels hot, 
changes color, changes shape or  appears abnormal in any other way. 
Contact your authorized reseller  or Panasonic if any of these 
problems are observed.
(2) Do not place the batteries in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers,  or on induction cookware.
(3) In the event that the battery leaks  and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not 
rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. 
If left untreated the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
Caution(1) If the device is to be used by small children, an adult should explain the   contents of the user’s manual to  the children. The person should 
provide adequate supervision to insu re that the device is being used 
as explained in the user’s manual.
(2) When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or  similar materials before disposal.
DangerBe sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the  battery. Failure to 
do so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite and 
cause serious injury.
· When charging the battery, either use a specified battery charger or              otherwise insure that the battery charging conditions specified by 
Panasonic are met.
· Do not attach the batteries to a power supply plug or directly to a vehicle’s   cigarette lighter.
· Do not place the batteries in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. When the    battery becomes hot, the built-in safety equipment is activated, 
preventing the battery from char ging further, and overheating the 
battery, which would destroy the safety equipment and can cause add 
itional heating, breaking, or  ignition of the battery.

INSTALLATION & OPERATIONInstallation:1) Install the mounting bracket by using the screws
2) Slide the RX Set onto the bracket
3) Connect the main cable to the RX
4) Connect external antenna to the RXOperation:1) Charge the TX for at least 3 hours 
2) Switch the power on (located on the bottom of the TX)
3) Place the TX into the RX to synchronizeNote:  Disconnect the battery or turn off the device when the TX is not in use  for long periods of time
CAUTION WarningDo not continue charging the battery if  it does not charge within the specified 
charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, 
explode, or ignite. There is a risk of  explosion if the battery is replaced 
by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
2. While Charging
CautionThe temperature range over which  the battery can be charged is  
10° C to 45 °C. Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this 
range may cause the battery to become hot or to break. Charging the 
battery outside of this temperature range may also harm the 
performance of the battery or r educe the battery’s life expectancy.
3. When Discharging the Battery
DangerDo not discharge the battery using any dev ice except for the specified device. 
When the battery is used in devices  aside from the specified device it 
may damage the performance of the battery or reduce its life 
expectancy, and if the  device causes an abnormal current to flow, it 
may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite and cause 
serious injury.
CautionThe temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is                 -10°C to 45 °C. Use of the battery outsi de of this temperature range 
may damage the performance of the battery or may reduce its life 
expectancy.
Antenna Location:
1) Place external antenna on the windshield at the point        
(Horizontal or Vertical) as shown in the following picture:
Installation must only be conducted by a qualified technician

TIP 2:  Preserving the Batteries
CAUTION1. When Using the Battery
Danger(1) Misusing the battery may cause the battery to get hot, explode,  or ignite and cause serious injury.  Be sure to follow the safety rules 
listed below:
- Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
- Do not install the battery backwards  so that the polarity is reversed.
- Do not connect the positive termi nal and the negative terminal of the                 
battery to each other with any metal object (such as a wire).   
- Do not carry or store the batteries together  with necklaces, hairpins, or       
other metal objects.
- Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step  
on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
- Do not solder directly onto the battery.
- Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get  wet.
(2) Do not disassemble or modify the batte ry. The battery contains safety     
and protection devices which, if  damaged, may cause the battery to              
generate heat, explode or ignite.
(3) Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high                    temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or               
use/store the  battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause 
the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in 
this manner may also result in  a loss of performance and a shortened 
life expectancy.
(4) Do not insert the battery into equipment designed to be hermetically         sealed. In some cases hydrogen or oxygen may be discharged from 
the cell which may result in rupture, fire or explosion.
To maintain the optimum capacity of the pack, the unit has to b e
 
fully discharged every 6 months.  This can be accomplished by 
leaving the unit on.  Then recharge the battery to full capacit
y
 
again.
