Stingray Keystation
Stingray Keystation
The Modular Approach to Hardware
For more than 30 years you have trusted
Panasonic to provide reliable point of sale
technology solutions. And with more than 16,000
McDonald’s restaurants globally using Panasonic
Keystations, our reputation for quality and
durability is well known.
Panasonic transforms point of sale operations with
the revolutionary new Stingray – the keystation
that gives you the power to change the way you
do business. Stingray’s unique modular design lets
you save money on service and minimize lost sales
from down equipment. The unit’s main components
including the LCD display, hard drive, main body
and 2-line display are all modular and fieldreplaceable. Designed for easy removal via thumb
screws, these components can be taken out and
replaced as needed, with minimal downtime and no
technician fees.
Stingray is the latest generation keystation from
Panasonic to uphold our tradition of providing
top-quality equipment to the McDonald’s system at
an affordable price. Built to withstand spills, static,
dust, dirt, shock, grease, extreme temperatures
and humidity, you’ll find that Stingray delivers all
the durability and reliability you’ve come to expect
from Panasonic.

Stingray Keystation
The Modular Approach to Inventory
The unique modular design of Stingray greatly
simplifies in-field service to a virtual plug & play
operation. The LCD display, hard drive, main body
and 2 line display can be removed and replaced
through the use of conveniently placed thumb
screws. It’s fast, easy, and cost effective – simply
place a sales order for a new module or stock the
inventory on your own shelf to virtually eliminate
downtime; you pay for only the parts you order
or stock with no technician fees and minimum
downtime.*
Plus, Stingray’s modular design makes on-site
troubleshooting fast and easy. Modules can be
swapped between keystations to isolate for testing
and verify functional status. You can also swap
modules from low volume keystations to higher
volume down keystations to minimize impact to
your restaurant while you wait for a repair.

Attune Drive-Thru Communications System
Attune Drive-Thru Communications System
Attune is the only digital headset with Panasonic’s
world renowned audio and wireless digital
expertise – for clear and consistent communication
with customers and employees. Engineered
to optimize audio transmission technology,
Attune helps improve order accuracy for better
profitability, decreasing total cost of ownership.
•Wired headset with swivel extension for
enhanced acoustic quality
Digital Performance Superiority
•One-button battery eject for quick battery
change
Attune delivers superior digital performance and
expert spread spectrum design.
Conventional order taking systems typically
operate on the unrestricted 2.4 Ghz band. Attune
utilizes a restricted 1.9 Ghz band, with a regulated
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications
(DECT) voice technology protocol, for interferencefree communications with no FCC fee required.
Attune provides exceptional reception and sound
quality through the use of true digital packet
diversity, virtually eliminating communication dead
spots and signal fading.
All-in-One or Belt Pack Models

Attune Drive-Thru Communications System
Dual Drive-Thru Operation
Attune can be used for dual drive-thru operation by
simply adding a base station and RJ-45 connector.
In night mode, Attune prompts a designated order
taker via an audible tone that a vehicle has entered
the alternate drive-thru lane – an ideal feature
during off-peak hours when a single crew member
is working both lanes.
Line Busting Operation
Accelerate drive-thru operations and increase
customer satisfaction with Attune. Speed team
mode is easy to program and automatically turns
off the menu board speaker, enabling extended
range so up to four crew can take face-to-face
orders in the drive-thru line. Speed team members
communicate simultaneously in full duplex,
page lock mode while other order takers monitor
interactions. Helpful voice prompts remind crew
they are in speed mode if no communication
activity takes place after 5 minutes.
Unique Manager’s Functions
Several exclusive features give managers added
flexibility and capabilities when using Attune.
Customer override mode lets managers intervene
in customer communications, enabling advanced
crew training. The manager’s headset can be
programmed for additional external device
functions, including one-touch activation from
the order taker, and receipt of voice prompts to
indicate attention is needed in a specific area.

Drive-Thru Automated Greeter
Drive-Thru Automated Greeter
The Panasonic Drive-Thru Automated Greeter is
designed to welcome and provide pre-recorded
information to your guests. Greeter functions are
easily configured using the system keypad and
clearly viewed on an alphanumeric LCD display.
Message programming is available through an
external speaker/microphone/headset or through a
user-supplied audio channel.
How It Works
When a vehicle is detected at the speaker post,
the Panasonic Automated Greeter plays one of
several pre-recorded messages to your guest. Any
one of these messages can be manually selected
or automatically scheduled based on time of day
and day of the week. This powerful programming
flexibility minimizes the need for human
intervention and ensures message consistency.
As one of the most advanced customer greeters
on the market today, the Panasonic Drive-Thru
Automated Greeter offers increased utilization of
labor, enhanced speed of service and maximized
customer communication.
10
Message Programming Basics
•Record up to 8 individual messages, each up
to 25 seconds in length. The timing of each
message is independent of the others.
•A ninth message slot can be used to record a
message up to 40 seconds – an ideal amount
of time to communicate closed store status and
hours of operation.
•A visual count-up of seconds during recording
is displayed, allowing employees to measure the
length of each message. The total time displays
and counts down when a message is triggered.
•Pre-recorded messages can be downloaded
to the Panasonic Automated Greeter from
a recorder or other device via the standard
external input jack. Alternately, recordings
can be made through the included Panasonic
Headset.
•The Panasonic Automated Greeter can be
programmed to have messages play to
completion, without allowing an employee to
interrupt, or to have messages pre-empted by
pressing the Talk button on the drive-thru order
taker.
Drive-Thru Automated Greeter
Message Programming By Day Part
•Customize individual messages for specified
times of the day and/or week. For example, a
late night message may be recorded and set to
play from 9:00 PM until 1:00 AM on Friday and
Saturday.
•Program each message to automatically activate
in designated time periods on different days.
Instead of manually switching from a breakfast,
to a lunch, to a late afternoon day part message,
the Panasonic Automated Greeter automatically
cycles to the next message programmed for
each day part and/or day of the week.
•Program delays by day part. You determine the
wait time before a message begins once the
guest drives up to the menuboard. The prerecorded message can be set to play only if an
employee has not addressed the guest within
the specified time.
System Features & Benefits
•2-Line x 16 Character LCD Display. Large,
alphanumeric display makes it easy to follow
lead-through prompts during programming
and review of settings.
•Tamper-Resistant Program Lock. When
enabled, a user programmable four-digit
lock code denies access to changing any
operating parameters or outgoing messages.
•Non-Volatile Memory. In the event of power
loss or power fluctuations, all messages and
day part programming are retained.
•Battery Date/Time Back-up. An internal
rechargeable battery maintains date and time
data in the event of a power outage.
•Program a repeat by day part. You determine
the wait time before a message repeats if the
guest remains at the menuboard. When the store
is closed, management may set the after hours
message to repeat after the specified time.
•Program automatic outbound volume adjustment
by day part. During peak hours, program a
higher outbound volume. During late night hours,
set outbound volume to automatically change to
a lower volume.

View-Thru Guest Verification System
View-Thru Guest Verification System
Panasonic’s View-Thru Guest Verification System
helps speed up your side-by-side and tandem
drive-thru transactions and keep order accuracy
at its peak. IP camera technology works together
with your existing point of sale network to link each
order with a snapshot of the corresponding vehicle.
The View-Thru provides guest verification, allowing
you to deliver the right order to the right guest at
optimum speed.
How It Works
In a side-by-side or tandem drive-thru, it is
possible for cars to pull forward in a different order
than their order was taken. For instance, car A
orders his Happy Meal before car B. But car A is
distracted by children in the back seat, and car B
places his order and pulls forward ahead of car
A. The cars are now technically out of order. This
scenario can impact your speed of service and
order accuracy if the cashier at the window tenders
the wrong order or the runners pack and complete
the wrong order. Car B could be charged for car
A’s order and/or receive car A’s food by mistake. At
the very least the cashier and the runner will have
to take valuable time to determine which order
belongs to which car. The Panasonic View-Thru
System ensures that even when cars get out of
order, speed of service and order accuracy is not
compromised.
By taking a snapshot of the vehicle at the ordering
point, the View-Thru system integrates with the
existing POS network to link the vehicle’s photo to
the correct order. Then, when a car pulls around to
pay, the cashier restores and tenders the correct
order by touching the photo of the corresponding
vehicle on the POS system screen. This also
automatically puts orders in the correct sequence
on the drive-thru screens in the kitchen as well.
12
Benefits of View-Thru
•Increases speed of service
•Increases order accuracy
•Reduces product waste from order accuracy
mistakes
•Easy-to-use and learn photo interface
•Integrates directly with the NP6™ software
•Works on all NP6™ compatible keystations
•Panasonic quality and dependability

When can I purchase a service program?
The minimum NP6 programs must be purchased at the time
of the upgrade but the options, including PM visits, Advanced
Exchange, On-site, and Depot Repair contracts can be
purchased at any time. In the event, however, a contract is
not purchased prior to the expiration of the original warranty
or renewed prior to the expiration of an existing contract
Panasonic reserves the right to require, at the expense of the
store, an on-site visit by one of our authorized technicians to
validate the condition of the equipment. The Extended Three
Year Warranty must be contracted at the time the new system
is purchased.
What components are considered core system
components for PcPOS? Are they different for NP6?
For PcPOS keystations, CCUs and ADDS or Itona video
controllers, are considered core system components. The
core components for NP6 are the same as PcPOS but also
include dLink switch and the cashless appliance.

service options as described. We do not cover repairs from
spillage, power surges, physical abuse, etc.
I have a Help Desk contract with SEI, how does that fit
into the service options listed?

will troubleshoot your POS system issues. Your SEI Help
Desk contract does not cover exchange or onsite service,
system parts or repair.
What is the number for the SEI Help Desk?

Service Options
• Advanced Exchange
• On-site
The Advanced Exchange program enables a customer
to receive a working replacement unit prior to returning
the defective unit. The store is responsible to install the
replacement unit and to properly package and return the
defective unit to Panasonic using the included prepaid
label.
For stores that do not have staff qualified to perform an
exchange or who want the advantage of a fully trained
on-site technician, we recommend our On-Site contract
(below).
• On-Site
Our On-Site program combines the benefits of the
Advance Exchange program with on-site service visits for
the ultimate service convenience. In the event a covered
failure occurs and can not be remedied by the Help Desk,
Panasonic will dispatch a technician to the site and, if
needed, arrange shipment of an Advanced Exchange unit
to meet the technician at the store. In the event a store
feels comfortable in performing an exchange with its
own staff, Panasonic can arrange just the dispatch of an
advance exchange unit. The choice is yours.
Contracts are available in 1 year increments.
In the event your Hiring Kiosk should require service we
offer an on-site contract which covers all components
originally provided by Panasonic. Additional fees apply for
visits where no trouble is found upon arrival or sites where
the kiosk is damaged due to abuse or vandalism.
Contracts are available in 1 year increments.
