Installation

Please note that onl y authorised per sonnel should inst all the
Bluetooth car handsfree. Please check with your car dealer for
recommendations on professional installation engineers. It is
recommended that the Bluetooth car handsfree be installed
under the dashboard of the car. The control panel of the
Bluetooth car handsfree should be installed on the dashboard
of the car, so that you can reach the keys from your normal
driving position. Some car manufacturers require that you use
an external antenna for your phone. Check with your car
manufacturer's representative to be sure that all equipment for

are placed in a safe location. If your car is equipped with an air
bag, check that the handsfree equipment does not interfere
with its functi on. The Bluetooth car handsfree equipment is
made for use in cars with a 12 volt electrical system. Other
supply voltag es may cause damag e to the equipment.

Radio frequency exposure

Your Bluetooth car handsfree is a radio transmitter and
receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth
equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the
frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the
radio transmitter is low, 0.001 watt. Your Bluetooth car
handsfree is designed to operate in compliance with the RF
exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities and

14

Draft for Sony Ericsson Internal Use Only

international health agencies when used with any compatible
Sony Ericsson or Ericsson mobile phone.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones
and handsfree equipment in the areas where you drive.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and
park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as car stereo, and safety equipment.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be
sure that your mobile phone or Bluetooth car handsfree will
not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.

Electronic equipment

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not,
therefore:

Do not use your Bluetooth car handsfree near medical
equipment witho ut permission. If y ou are using any personal
medical device, such as a pacemaker or a hearing aid, please
check in your mobile phone's User's Guide for related
information.

Blasting areas

Turn off all your electronic devices when in a blasting area or
in areas posted turn off two-way radio to avoid interfering
with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote
control RF devices to set off explosives.

HCB-300_UG_EN.book Page 15 Monday, March 8, 2004 10:16 AM

Draft for Sony Ericsson Internal Use Only

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your electronic
device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked.

Children

Do not allow chi ldren to play with your Bluetooth car handsfree
since it contains small parts that could become detached and
create a choking hazard.

Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!

This Bluetooth car handsfree and the electronic device
connected to the handsfree operate using radio signals,
cellular, and lan dline networks as well as user- programmed
functions, which cannot guarantee connection under all
conditions. Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic
device for essential communications (such as medical
emergencies). Remember, in order to make or receive calls,
the handsfree and the el ectronic devic e connected to the
handsfree must be switched on in a service area with
adequate cellular signal strength. Emergency calls may not be
possible on all cellular phone networks or when certain
network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with
your local service provider.
