To provide the technical background information needed for carrying out
professional installation.

Only a qualified service technician should install or service the car kit using
the approved original Nokia parts supplied in the sales package. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
which may apply to the car kit. End-users should remember that the car kit
comprises complex technical equipment that requires professional
installation using special tools and expert know-how.

Instructions given in this guide are general guidelines which apply for the
installation of the car kit in an automobile. However, due to the wide variety
of car types and models available on the market, this guide cannot consider
the individual technical requirements relevant for any particular vehicle.
Contact the vehicle manufacturer for detailed information about the vehicle

is reached when the microphone
points to the speaker’s mouth

• To avoid echoes microphone
should point in a different
direction rather than to the
loudspeaker
