FCC ID: AJDK071

MODEL NO.: DEH-X8800BHS/DEH-X7800BHS/DEH-X6800BS/MVH-X580BS IC: 775E-K071

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 Bluetooth antenna 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 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

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

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.

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.

2 En

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.

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.

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION:

USE OF CONTROL OR ADJUSTMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

CAUTION:

Auto TA and EQ (auto-time alignment and autoequalizing)

(Only for DEH-X8800BHS)

Auto-time alignment automatically adjusts the time alignment according to the distance between the listener and each speaker.

The auto-equalizer automatically measures the vehicle’s interior acoustics, and then creates an equalizer curve based on that information.

WARNING

A loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the vehicle’s interior acoustic characteristics. Never perform auto TA and EQ measurement while driving.

Before performing the auto TA and EQ function

Important

Perform auto TA and EQ in a place as quiet as possible, with both the vehicle engine and air conditioning switched off. Also turn off any car phones or cellular phones in the vehicle, or remove them from the vehicle. Sounds other than the measurement tone (such as ambient noise, engine sound, telephones ringing) may prevent correct measurement of the vehicle’s interior acoustic characteristics.

Be sure to perform auto TA and EQ using the supplied microphone. Using another microphone may prevent measurement or result in incorrect measurement of the vehicle’s interior acoustic characteristics.

To perform auto TA and EQ, the front speakers must be connected.

When this unit is connected to a power amp with input level control, auto TA and EQ may not be possible if the power amp’s input level is set below the standard level.

When this unit is connected to a power amp with an LPF (low pass filter), turn off the LPF before performing auto TA and EQ. Also set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.

The time alignment value resulting from auto TA and EQ is calculated by a computer and is the optimum delay time for producing accurate results. Be sure to use the resulting value, even though it may differ from the actual distance when:

The interior of the vehicle strongly reflects sound, and delays occur.

The LPF on active subwoofers or external amps delay the lower sounds.

Previous settings for auto TA and EQ will be overwritten.

When connecting tweeters, please confirm the tweeter’s usable frequency range. When you set the cut-off frequency, set a value that is higher than the lowest usable frequency of the tweeter.

Auto TA uses a range higher than 10 kHz for measurement. Therefore, using a tweeter that cannot reproduce sounds in the 10 kHz frequency range may cause damage to the tweeter. When auto TA and EQ is performed, be sure to set the appropriate cut-off frequency. Also, use a tweeter that can reproduce 10 kHz at the lowest usable frequency.

Performing auto TA and EQ

You can perform the auto TA and EQ function using the microphone supplied with the unit.

CAUTION

Thoroughly check the conditions before performing auto TA and EQ, as the speakers may be damaged if this function is performed under the following conditions:

The speakers are incorrectly connected. (For example, when a rear speaker is connected to a subwoofer output.)

A speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speaker’s maximum power input capability.

Do not turn off the vehicle while the measurement is in progress.

If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable position, the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.

NOTES

The fader/balance settings return to their center positions by performing the auto TA and EQ (page 21).

When a subwoofer is connected to this unit, the subwoofer will be adjusted automatically to both the subwoofer output and high pass filter setting for the rear speaker by performing the auto TA and EQ.

1Park the vehicle in a quiet place, close all the doors, windows, and sun roof, and then turn the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may cause incorrect auto TA and EQ measurements.

2Attach the supplied microphone to the center of the headrest of the driver’s seat, facing forward.
