Warning

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

FOR THE CUSTOMERS IN THE USA. NOT APPLICABLE IN CANADA, INCLUDING IN THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.

POUR LES CLIENTS AUX ÉTATS-UNIS. NON APPLICABLE AU CANADA, Y COMPRIS LA PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC.

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:

ˋReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

ˋIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.

ˋConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

ˋConsult 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 the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

2GB

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

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/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines 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 20 cm or more away from person’s body.

CAUTION

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. As the laser beam used in this CD/DVD player is harmful to eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

For the State of California, USA only

Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate Perchlorate Material: Lithium battery contains perchlorate

Note on the lithium battery

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or the like.

Warning if your car’s ignition has no ACC position

After turning the ignition off, be sure to press and hold OFF on the unit until the display disappears.

Otherwise, the display does not turn off and this causes battery drain.
