Emergency calls

This BLUETOOTH boat handsfree and the electronic device connected to the handsfree operate using radio signals, cellular, and landline networks as well as user-programmed function, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic device for essential communications (such as medical emergencies).

On BLUETOOTH communication

Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident.

where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or petrol station

near automatic doors or a fire alarm

This unit supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH communication.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Before connecting the device, turn down the volume of this unit; otherwise, loud sound may result.

Connecting with a Smartphone by One touch (NFC)

By touching the control dial on the unit with an NFC* compatible smartphone, the unit is paired and connected with the smartphone automatically.

*NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology enabling short-range wireless communication between various devices, such as mobile phones and IC tags. Thanks to the NFC function, data communication can be achieved easily just by touching the relevant symbol or designated location on NFC compatible devices.

For a smartphone with Android OS 4.0 or lower installed, downloading the app “NFC Easy Connect” available at Google Play™ is required. The app may not be downloadable in some countries/regions.
