FOR UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS. NOT
APPLICABLE IN CANADA, INCLUDING IN THE
PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.
POUR LES CONSOMMATEURS AUX ÉTATSUNIS. 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.
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 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 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 20 cm or more away
from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and ankles).
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.

such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems or air bag systems. For
installation or service of this device, please consult
with the manufacturer or its representative of your

Consult with the manufacturer of your car to ensure
that the use of your cellular phone in the car will not
affect its electronic system.
Check regularly that all wireless device equipment
in your car is mounted and operating properly.
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).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the
handsfree and the electronic device connected to
the handsfree must be switched on in a service area
with adequate cellular signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
phone networks or when certain network services
and/or phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
