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.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

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 uncontrolled equipment 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 with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and legs).

On pairing

What is pairing?

BLUETOOTH devices need to be “paired” with each other beforehand. Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need for pairing again, except in the following cases:

• Pairing information is deleted after repair, etc.

• This unit is paired with 9 or more devices. This unit can be paired with up to 8 BLUETOOTH stereo audio source devices. If a new device is paired after 8 devices have been paired, the device whose latest connection time is the oldest among the 8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.

• This unit is reset. All pairing information is deleted. (See page 20.)

See page 11 on how to pair devices.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Precautions

On BLUETOOTH communication

• BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet). Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.

This unit

Steel cabinet

Optimal performance Limited performance

• The following conditions may affect the sensitivity of BLUETOOTH communication. – There is an obstacle such as a person, metal,

or wall between this unit and BLUETOOTH device.

–A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a

wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near this unit.

– This unit is installed on a shelf made of steel.

• Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) 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 a case, perform the following. – Use this unit at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away

from the wireless LAN device.

– If this unit is used within 10 m (about 30 ft)

of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.

– Install this unit and BLUETOOTH device 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 other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident. – where inflammable gas is present, in a

hospital, train, airplane, or a gas 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.

• 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, 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.

Notes when using with a mobile phone

• You cannot use this unit to talk over the telephone, even if the BLUETOOTH connection between this unit and a mobile phone is made.

• For details on operation of your mobile phone when receiving a telephone call while transmitting the sound using the BLUETOOTH connection, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the mobile phone.

On safety

The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc., is located on the rear exterior.

• Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage of the system is identical with that of your local power supply.

Where purchased

U.S.A./Canada Other countries/regions

Operating voltage

120 V AC, 60 Hz 100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz

• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor.

• After operating the system with the AC power adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet if the system is not to be used for an extended period of time. Just switching the 1 button to off does not turn the AC power adaptor off.

On placement

• Do not set the speaker in an inclined position.

• Do not leave the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

On operation

• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards, or floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the system for an extended period of time.

On cleaning

Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet.

If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically distorted

Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. For the personal computer set, take the appropriate measures such as data storage before turning it off. When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system further away from the TV set/personal computer set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.

What is BLUETOOTH technology?

BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet). Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.* You do not need to use a cable for connection since BLUETOOTH technology is a wireless technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. BLUETOOTH technology is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

* This unit cannot be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
