pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

Warning:

Stop the car before operating the unit.

Caution:

Adjust the volume so that you can hear sounds
outside the car. Driving with the volume too high
may cause an accident.
Avoid using the USB device or iPod/iPhone if it
might hinder driving safety.

Caution on volume setting:

Digital devices (CD/USB) produce very little noise
compared with other sources. Lower the volume
before playing these digital sources to avoid
damaging the speakers by the sudden increase of
the output level.

Temperature inside the car:

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot
or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the
car becomes normal before operating the unit.

 appears on the display and animation/text
scroll will be stopped to prevent the display from
being blurred when the temperature falls below
0°C. Once operating temperature is normalised,
these functions will start working again.

Condensation:

When the car is air-conditioned, moisture may
collect on the laser lens. This may cause disc read
errors. In this case, remove the disc and wait for
the moisture to evaporate.

Maintenance

Cleaning the unit

Wipe off the dirt on the panel with a dry silicon or
soft cloth. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in damage to the unit.

Cleaning the connector

Wipe off dirt on the connector of the unit and
panel. Use a cotton swab or cloth.
