Information to Customer

IYASDA-BS900

FCC ID: IC: 25782-SDABS900

- This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada license-exempt RSS(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.

The antenna cannot be removed (or replaced) by user. This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are deemed to comply without Maximum Permissible Exposure evaluation (MPE), but the equipment should be installed and operated at least 20cm from a person’s body.

Information to User

- 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.

CAUTION

・Special vehicle conditions that should be considered

During system startup and initialization, it may take up to 2 minutes for the system to establish a GPS connection. If the vehicle is driven before a GPS connection is established or if the GPS connection is interrupted (inside a tunnel, parking structure, etc.), the system may not function properly, producing incorrect or false warnings or failing to produce a warning. Once the GPS connection is established or re-established, both LED indicators will flash twice to indicate the system is ready for use.

Engl is h

This system can be used on any vehicle except vehicles with metal bumpers, i.e. Trucks. When mounting the sensors, assure that the sensors are not obstructed by any metal object as the operation of the product can be affected by the metal object interfering with the system. The following may compromise the effectiveness of the system:

・Incorrect installation angle. ・

Vehicles with metal obstructions in front of the sensor head.

・

Improperly mounted sensor location on vehicle, i.e. center of vehicles bumper location.

・

Situations that cannot be detected

・

Your vehicle is moving slower than the sensing speed setting, such as in slow moving traffic.

・

When your vehicle is reversing, the relative speed between your vehicle and objects is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

・

If a vehicle is approaching / overtaking your vehicle and the relative speed between your vehicle and the overtaking vehicle is greater than 37 mph (60 km/h). For example, if you are traveling at 41 mph (66 km/h), the system cannot detect vehicles approaching from behind if their speed exceeds 78 mph (126 km/h).

・

Situations that may affect system detection accuracy

・

Metal objects are in the direct path of the sensing signal.

・

Weather such as heavy rain and snow, and icy road conditions, which can cause changes in sensitivity.

・

Gravel roads, which may cause interference due to dust and flying stones.

Alert Conditions

When the system is on and functioning, the system is designed to detect the following events:

1. Blind spots while driving: Objects in the blind spot areas around your vehicle-in the lanes on the left/right and directly behind the vehicle at a distance of up to 82 ft (approximately 25 m).

2. Blind spots while being passed / overtaken: When vehicles are approaching / overtaking your vehicle

Engl is h

from behind, or when your vehicle approaches and passes a moving vehicle.

3. Cross-Traffic Detection: When your vehicle is reversing, vehicles approaching from your left and right.

CAUTION

The SDA-BS900 can not only objects approaching your vehicle from behind, but also detect objects your vehicle is approaching or overtaking. Under certain driving scenarios, the SDA-BS900 may detect objects in an unintended way. The following conditions below are examples of scenarios where fault notifications may occur

System Indicators

A. When the system is turned on each time (your vehicle ignition or ACC is switched on), both LED indicators will flash once to indicate system start up and initialization. Once a GPS connection is established, which may take up to 2 minutes, both LED indicators will flash twice to indicate the system is ready for use. The GPS connection is used to calculate your vehicle's speed. When your vehicle is traveling slower than the start speed setting 18mph(29km/h), the system will not produce warnings.

Blind spot detection toward the right rear of your vehicle:

1. The Right LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when there is an object or vehicle approaching,

2. If your vehicle's right turn signal is activated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, when your vehicle approaches and passes a moving vehicle, repeatedly and the included .

Blind spot detection toward the left rear of your vehicle:

1. The Left LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, or when your vehicle approaches and passes a moving vehicle.

2. If your vehicle's left turn signal is activated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, when your vehicle approaches and passes a moving vehicle repeatedly and the D. Cross-Traffic Detection:

1. When your vehicle is reversing and the system detects an object or vehicle approaching from your right, the right LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated and the included speaker will beep repeatedly.

Installation Guide

WARNING

・For professional installation only by personnel with specialized training and experience in mobile electronics.

Engl is h

・

Do not install the LED Indicators where it may (i) obstruct the driver's vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicle's operating systems or safety features, including air bags or hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver's ability to safety operate the vehicle.

・

Never install this product in front of or next to the place in the dashboard, door, or pillar from which one of your vehicle's airbags would deploy. Please refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for reference to the deployment area of the airbags.

・

Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.

・

Make sure that the cables and wires will not interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicle's moving parts, especially brake, doors, or any of the vehicle's controls.

・

If the wiring of this unit is located under a front seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.

・

Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.

・

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use a fuse only of the rating prescribed on this product.

・

Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.

・

Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of this product and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

・

Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.

・The graphical symbol placed on the product means direct current. ・

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before installation.

・

Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wiring.
