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
eq
uipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
ci
rcuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
t
echnician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
m
odifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules and
Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
an
d
(2) this device must accept any interference
r
eceived, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated
in
conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation
e
xposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This
equipment should be installed and operated
keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away
from person’s body.
Data transmission is always initiated by software,
wh
ich is the passed down through the MAC,
through the digital and analog baseband, and
finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are
initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the
digital baseband portion will turn on the RF
transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the
packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only
while one of the aforementioned packets is being
transmitted. In other words, this device
automatically discontinue transmission in case of
either absence of information to transmit or
operational failure.

Notes on LCD panel
• Do not get the LCD panel wet
or expose it to liquids. This
may cause a malfunction.
•Do not press down hard on
the
LCD panel as doing so
can distort the picture or
cause a malfunction (i.e., the
picture may become unclear
or the LCD panel may be
damaged).
•Do not touch the panel with objects other than
w
ith your finger as it may damage or break the
LCD panel.
• Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray.
• Do not use the unit outside the temperature range
0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF).
• If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the
p
icture may not be clear. However, the monitor is
not damaged and the picture will become clear
after the temperature in your car becomes normal.
•Some stationary blue, red, or green dots may
a
ppear on the monitor. These are called “bright
spots” and can happen with any LCD. The LCD
panel is precision-manufactured with more than
99.99% of its segments functional. However, it is
possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01%)
of the segments may not light up properly. This
will not, however, interfere with your viewing.

DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL BE RESOLVED
EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION.
“DISPUTE” is defined as any disagreement, cause of
action, claim, controversy, or proceeding between
you and any Sony entity related to or arising out of
the SOFTWARE or this EULA. DISPUTE is to be given
the broadest possible meaning that will be
enforced. If a DISPUTE arises, you agree to first give
notice to SONY by contacting Sony Electronics Inc.
at 16530 Via Esprillo, MZ 1105, San Diego, CA 92127,
Attn: Legal Department, and engaging in good
faith negotiations to attempt to resolve any
DISPUTE for at least 14 days, except that you or
Sony (or any of its affiliates) may skip this informal
negotiation procedure for DISPUTE enforcing,
protecting, or concerning the validity of intellectual
property rights.
ARBITRATION INSTRUCTIONS (ONLY FOR
UNITED STATES RESIDENTS)
To begin arbitration, either you or SONY must make
a written demand to the other for arbitration. The
arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator.
It will be administered in keeping with the
Expedited Procedures of the Commercial
Arbitration Rules, and the Supplementary
Proceedings for Consumer-Related disputes when
applicable (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) in effect when the claim is filed.
You may get a copy of AAA’s Rules by contacting
AAA at (800) 778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. The
filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be
shared between you and SONY, but in no event
shall your fees ever exceed the amount allowable
by the special rules for Consumers Disputes
provided for by AAA, at which point SONY will cover
all additional administrative fees and expenses.
This does not prohibit the arbitrator from giving the
winning party their fees and expenses of the
arbitration when appropriate pursuant to the Rules.
Unless you and SONY agree differently, the
arbitration will take place in the county and state
where you live, and applicable federal or state law
shall govern the substance of any DISPUTE. The
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., will
govern the arbitration itself and not any state law
on arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision will be
binding and final, except for a limited right of
appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The
arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief
25GB
only in favor of the party seeking relief, and only to
the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by
that party’s individual claim. Any court with
jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the
arbitrator’s decision.
SMALL CLAIMS EXCEPTION (ONLY FOR
UNITED STATES RESIDENTS)
Despite the provisions set forth above, you have
the right to litigate any DISPUTE in small claims
court or other similar court of limited jurisdiction, to
the extent the amount at issue does not exceed
$15,000, and as long as such court has proper
jurisdiction and all other requirements (including
amount in controversy) are satisfied.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER (ONLY FOR UNITED
STATES RESIDENTS)
YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY
AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU ARE
GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR
PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER)
ANY DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR
JURY. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING
