expressly approved in this manual could void your
authority to operate this equipment.
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and
RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it
deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it
should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at
least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding
extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

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

between this unit and iPod.
– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a wireless
LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven,
is in use near the unit.
– The unit is installed on a shelf made of steel.
Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency, microwave
interference may occur and resulting in communication
speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this
unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In such as case,
perform the following.
– Use this unit at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from

–
wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
– Install this unit and iPod as near to each other as
possible.
Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may
affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn
off this unit and iPod in the following locations, as it
may cause an accident.
– where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train,
airplane, or a 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 be insufficient, depending on
the setting. Be careful when communicating using
Bluetooth wireless technology.
We do not take any responsibility for leakage of
information during Bluetooth communication.
Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be
guaranteed.
– A device featuring Bluetooth function is required to
conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and be authenticated.
– Even if the connected device conforms to the above
mentioned Bluetooth standard, some devices may
not be connected or work correctly, depending on
the features or specifications of the device.
Depending on the device to be connected, it may
require some time to start communication.
