Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Connecting to other devices
When connecting to any other device, please read its user guide for detailed safety instructions.
Radio frequency exposure
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in cars, such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems or air bag systems. For installation or service of this device, please consult with the manufacturer or its representative of your car.
