Operating safety

General notes

G

WARNING

Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions. Only operate the audio
device if traffic conditions permit you to do
so. Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 m per second.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and

2. this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

G

WARNING

Change or modification not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.

!

Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.

G

WARNING

This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65.

This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that is deemed to comply without

maximum permissive exposure evaluation
(MPE). But it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated with at least 8 inches
(20 cm) and more between the radiator and a
person's body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and legs.)

!

Electronic devices that you bring into the
vehicle yourself can cause significant
problems with the radio reception.

Correct use

Always observe the following when using the
audio device:

R

the safety notes in this manual

R

national road traffic regulations

i

If work on electronic equipment and its
software is carried out incorrectly, this
equipment could stop functioning. Even
systems that have not been modified could
be affected because the electronic
systems are connected. Electronic
malfunctions can seriously jeopardize the
operational safety of your vehicle.

G

WARNING

Modifications performed on electronic
components or software can cause
malfunctions. The radio, amplifier, CD drive
and telephone are linked together.

If one of the components is inoperative or was
not properly removed or replaced, the
function of the other components may be
impaired.

This could considerably compromise the
operating safety of your vehicle.

We therefore recommend always having
service work on electronic components
performed at an authorized Sprinter
dealership.
