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

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

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

lowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with

s

or may move

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.
