THIS PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH DHHS RULES 21CFR
SUBCHAPTER J IN EFFECT AT DATE OF MANUFACTURE.
Location : Top plate
FCC WARNING
This equipment may generate or use radio frequency
energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may
cause harmful interference unless the modifications are
expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user
could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an
unauthorized change or modification is made.
FCC NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, 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 may cause harmful interference to
radio communications, if it is not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions. However, there is no
guarantee that 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.
For KW-V51BT Region 1/KW-V31BT Region 1:
IC (Industry Canada) Notice
This device complies with Industry Canada licenseexempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The term “IC: ” before the certification/registration
number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specification were met.
CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines
in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very
low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without
maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is
desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping
the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s
body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
• Contains Transmitter Module
FCC ID : YZP-RBFAC21XX
• Contains Transmitter Module
IC: 7414A-RBFAC21XX
V Cautions on the monitor:
• The monitor built into this unit has been
produced with high precision, but it may have
some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not
considered defective.
• Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.
• Do not operate the touch panel using a ball-point
pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.
Touch the buttons on the touch panel with your
finger directly (if you are wearing a glove, take it
off).
• When the temperature is very cold or very hot...
– Chemical changes occur inside, causing
malfunction.
– Pictures may not appear clearly or may move
slowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with
the sound or picture quality may decline in such
environments.
For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this
will make driving dangerous by blocking outside
sounds, and may cause hearing loss.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
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.
How to reset your unit
If the unit fails to operate properly, press the reset
button.
