2CAUTION  
THIS PRODUCT CMPLIES WITH DHHS RULES  
21 CFR SUBCHAPTER J IN EFFECT DATE OF  
MANUFACTURE.  
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 20cm or more away from person’s body  
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles)..

Location : Top Panel  
FCC WARNING  
This equipment may generate or use radio  
frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this  
equipment may cause harmful interference unless  
the modifications are expressly approved in the  
instruction manual. The user could lose the authority  
to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change  
or modification is made.

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.  
FCC NOTE  
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 may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications, if it is not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions. 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

Appendix  
Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
• If your car’s ignition key switch does not have an ACC  
position, connect the ignition wires to a power source  
that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you  
connect the ignition wires to a constant-voltage power  
source, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that  
the faceplate will not hit the lid when it is closed or opened.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching  
other parts to cause a short circuit, and then replace the old  
fuse with one with a new the same rating.  
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar  
materials. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps  
on the ends of the unconnected wires and terminals.  
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the corresponding  
terminals. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you  
share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the  
car.  
• When connecting only two speakers, connect the  
connectors either to both of the front output terminals  
or to both of the rear output terminals (do not mix front  
and rear terminals). For example, if you connect the +  
connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do  
not connect the - connector to a rear output terminal.  
• After the installing the unit, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
• Reception may become poor if there are

2WARNING  
To assure good reception, note the following:  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.

• Communicate with the cell-phone within the line-  
of-sight distance of 10 m (30 ft). The communication  
range becomes shorter depending on the  
surrounding environment. The communication  
range also becomes shorter when there is an  
obstacle between this unit and the cell-phone. The  
above maximum communication range (10 m) is  
not always assured.
