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.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC
Rules and Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada’s licence-exempt
RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this
radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.
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 is deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE).

Emergency calls
This BLUETOOTH car 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 wirel ess
technology.
We do not take any responsibility for the

Preparing a BLUETOOTH
Device
You can enjoy music, or perform handsfree
calling depending on the BLUETOOTH
compatible device such as a smartphone,
cellular phone and audio device (hereafter
“BLUETOOTH device” if not otherwise
specified). For details on connecting, refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the
device.
Before connecting the device, turn down the
volume of this unit; otherwise, loud sound
may result.
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 on Google Play is
required. The app may not be downloadable
in some countries/regions.
1 Activate the NFC function on the
smartphone.
For details, refer to the operating

smartphone carefully to prevent scratches.
• One-touch connection is not possible when the
unit is already connected to two NFC compatible
devices. In this case, di sconnect either device, and
make connection with the smartphone again.
When connecting a BLUETOOTH device for
the first time, mutual registration (called
“pairing”) is required. Pairing enables this
unit and other devices to recognize each
other. This unit can connect two BLUETOOTH
devices (two cellular phones, or a cellular
phone and an audio device).

Maintenance
Replacing the lithium battery (CR2025)
of the remote commander
When the battery becomes weak, the range
of the remote commander becomes shorter.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
Note on the lithium battery
Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of
children. Should the battery be swallowed,
immediately consult a doctor.
Cleaning the connectors
Avoid touching the connectors directly. The
unit may not function properly if the
connectors between the unit and the front
panel are not clean. In order to prevent this,
detach the front panel (page 8) and clean
the connectors with a cotton swab. Do not
apply too much force. Otherwise, the
connectors may be damaged.
Note
For safety, do not remove the front panel while
driving.
