FCC ID: AJDK047
MODEL NO.: DEH-80PRS
IC: 775E-K047
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules
and Industry Canada licence-exempt 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 this device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or op­erated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
The antenna for Bluetooth cannot be removed
(or replaced) by user.
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).

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 gen­erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accor­dance with the instructions, may cause harm­ful interference to radio communications.
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.

Before you start

Information to User

Alteration or modifications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the
user’s right to operate the equipment.

The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar­ing or distortion and, most importantly, with­out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

Before you start

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

! Set your volume control at a low setting.
! Slowly increase the sound until you can

hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis­tortion.

! Once you have established a comfortable

sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:

! Do not turn up the volume so high that you

can’t hear what’s around you.

! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use

in potentially hazardous situations.

! Do not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
