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:

 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.

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 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

About BLUETOOTH function

What is BLUETOOTH technology?

 BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range

wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of

about 10 m (about 33 feet). Connecting two devices 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, neither 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 millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

On BLUETOOTH communication

 BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within

a range of about 10 m. Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wa ll, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.

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.

 Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN

(IEEE802.11b/g/n/ac) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and result 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 away from the

wireless LAN device.

 If this unit is used within 10 m 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 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 wireless technology.

 We do not take any responsibility for the leakage

of information during BLUETOOTH communication.

 Connection with all BLUETOOTH devices cannot

be guaranteed.
