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's licence-exempt RSSs.
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 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 is
deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE).

Important notice
Caution
IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR OTHER DAMAGES INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF
REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE OF THE
PRODUCT OR ANY ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT,

Dear customer, this product includes a radio
transmitter.
Please check your vehicle operation manual or
contact the manufacturer of your vehicle or your
vehicle dealer, before you install this product into
your vehicle.
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).
On BLUETOOTH communication
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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your unit that are not covered in this manual,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Pulse power supply* for stable and regulated
output power.
* Pulse power supply
This unit has a built-in power regulator which
converts the power supplied by the 12 V DC car
battery into high speed pulses using a semiconductor
switch. These pulses are stepped up by the built-in
pulse transformer and separated into both positive
and negative power supplies before being converted
into direct current again. This is to regulate
fluctuating voltage from the car battery. This lightweight power supply system provides a highly
efficient power supply with a low impedance output.

Installation
Select the mounting location where it is easy to
press the PAIRING button on the unit.
Choose the mounting location carefully so the
unit will not interfere with the normal movements
of the driver and it will not be exposed to direct
sunlight or hot air from the heater.
Do not mount the unit in a confined space such as
under the floor carpet that will obstruct heat
dissipation.
Mounting the unit
First, place the unit where you plan to install it, and
mark the positions of the 4 screw holes on a
mounting board (not supplied). Then drill a 3 mm
1
(
/8 in) pilot hole at each mark and mount the unit
onto the board with the supplied mounting screws.
The mounting screws are all 20 mm (
so make sure that the mounting board is thicker
than 20 mm (
13
/16 in).
13
/16 in) long,
Connections
Before making any connections, disconnect the
ground (earth) terminal of the car battery to avoid
short circuits.
Be sure to use speakers with an adequate power
rating. If you use small capacity speakers, they
may be damaged.
Do not connect the terminal of the speaker
system to the car chassis, and do not connect the
terminal of the right speaker with that of the
left speaker.
Install the input and output cords away from the
power supply wire. Running them close together
may generate interference noise.
This unit is a high powered amplifier. Therefore, it
may not perform to its full potential if used with
the speaker cords supplied with the car.
If your car is equipped with a computer system for
navigation or some other purpose, do not remove
the ground (earth) wire from the car batter y. If you
disconnect the wire, the computer memory may
be erased. To avoid short circuits when making
connections, disconnect the +12 V power supply
wire until all the other wires have been
connected.
Making the terminal connections
Pass the wires through the cap, connect the wires,
then cover the terminals with the cap.
Note
When you tighten a screw, be careful not to apply too
much torque as doing so may damage the screw (the
torque value should be less than 1 N•m).
