MP3 Operations
What is SD/MMC card?
The MultiMediaCard (MMC) and Secure Digital
(SD) are flash memory (non-volatile) card format
that are used to store large capacity of data in
a compact and slim size of media. SD memory
cards are based on the older MultiMediaCard
(MMC) format with additional features such as
write protection switch.
Memory card that can be played are limited to
those recognized as SD or MMC; operation
is not guaranteed with all SD memory card

card compatibility, please consult your nearest
Clarion dealer for more information.
To prevent the accidental loss of data, always
back up important data to your computer.
Audio files playable on this unit are limited to
MP3 files. AAC, WMA or other audio formats
are not supported.
This unit doesnʼt support SDHC (Secure
Digital High Capacity) and SDIO (input/output)
cards.
This unit supports SD memory card up to 2GB
based on SD Association standard.
What is MP3?
MP3 is an audio compression method and clas-
sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This
audio compression method has penetrated into
PC users and become a standard format. This
MP3 features the original audio data compres-
sion to about 12 percent of its initial size with a
high quality sound. This means that several mu-
sic CDs can be recorded on a SD card to allow a
long listening time∗.
∗ Depends on the SD card storage capacity.

extension other than specified or forget to add
the file extension, the file cannot be played.
Never simply change any file extension to
“.MP3” as this will cause unexpected result
and may damage the unit as well. Please use
appropriate audio converter to change to valid
mp3 files.
Logical format (File system)
1. When writing MP3 file on a SD/MMC card,
please select “FAT12” or “FAT16” as the
system file format. Please be aware that the
Windows XP will format any volume of 512MB
or larger with FAT32 by default. Thus, if the disk
is using “FAT32” system file format, please
format the disk with “FAT” system file format
which is “FAT16”. All the data will be erased
during formatting. Thus, please backup your
data accordingly.

What is Bluetooth® wireless
technology?
Bluetooth
® wireless technology is a radio tech-
nology that connects devices, such as mobile
phones and headsets, without wires or cords
over a short distance of approximately 10 meters
(approx. 33 feet). Get more information at www.
bluetooth.com.
What is Bluetooth® wireless
profiles?
Bluetooth
® wireless profiles are the different ways
that
Bluetooth
® devices communicate with other
devices.
Bluetooth
® phones normally support the
hands-free profile (HFP). In order to support a
certain profiles, a phone manufacturer must
implement certain mandatory features within the
phoneʼs software. The followings are the current-
ly supported profiles for the main unit:
Hands-Free Profile (HFP)
This is commonly used to allow car hands-free
kits to communicate with mobile phones in the
car. The
Bluetooth
® car kits allow users with Blue-
tooth-equipped mobile phones to make use of
some of the phoneʼs features.
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP)
This allows you to send CD quality stereo music
from external audio player to car stereo without
wires. A2DP is able to provide crystal clear music
without the hassle of plugging cables.
Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology with A2DP makes mobile
phones, pdaʼs and computers capable of stream-
ing music.
Audio Video Remote Control Profile
(AVRCP)
This enables music from
Bluetooth
® audio player
to be controlled remotely. AVRCP allows some
basic playback control functions such as play/
pause, volume up/down and next/previous track
to a
Bluetooth
® audio player.

What is pairing?
With a mobile phone featuring
Bluetooth
® tech-
nology, you must ʻpairʼ the main unit with the
phone/
Bluetooth
® audio device before you use it
for the first time.
Pairing creates a unique and encrypted link be-
tween two
Bluetooth
® devices and lets them com-
municate with each other eliminating the need
to repeat the pairing process during future use.
Bluetooth
® devices will not work if the devices
have not been paired. This car stereo is able to
hold up to 8 devices of pairing information.
What is passkey?
Passkey or PIN is a code that you enter on your
mobile phone to pair it with the main unit. This
makes your phone/
Bluetooth
® audio device and
the main unit recognizes each other and auto-
matically works together. The default passkey for
this unit is ʻ0000ʼ.
Pairing with a mobile phone
1. Enable pairing mode in the car stereo. Please
refer “Adding a new device (Pairing mode)”
on page 29 for more details.
2. Activate
Bluetooth
® on your mobile phone.
Please check your mobile phone ownerʼs
manual for further details.
3. Search for new
Bluetooth
® device on the mobile
phone. The car stereoʼs name is “CLARION_
FB275”.
4. When attempting to connect to the car stereo,
the mobile phone will prompt for a passkey,

Radio frequency exposure
Your car stereo is a radio transmitter and re-
ceiver. When in operation, it communicates with
a mobile device featuring
Bluetooth
® wireless
technology by receiving and transmitting radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (micro-
waves) in the frequency range 2400 to 2500
MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter
is low, 0.001 watt.
Your car stereo is designed to operate in compli-
ance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits
set by national authorities and international health
agencies when used with any compatible mobile
phone with
Bluetooth
® wireless technology.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
mobile phones and handsfree equipment in the
areas where you drive.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off
the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equip-
ment etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturerʼs
representative to be sure that your mobile phone
or car handsfree receiver will not affect the elec-
tronic systems in your vehicle.
Additional Information
Electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF energy. However, certain electronic
equipment is not, therefore:
Do not use your car stereo near medical equip-
ment without requesting permission. If you are
using any personal medical devices, e.g. a
pacemaker or a hearing aid, please read in your
mobile phoneʼs Userʼs Guide for further informa-
tion.
Blasting areas
Turn off all your electronic devices when in a
blasting area or in areas posted turn off two-way
radio to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
Construction crews often use remote control RF
devices to set off explosives.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn off your electronic device when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare,
but your electronic device could generate sparks.

or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This car stereo, and the electronic device connected
to the handsfree operate using radio signals, cellular,
bluetooth wireless technology and landline networks
as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore
you should never rely solely upon any electronic
device for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the
car stereo and the electronic device connected to
the handsfree must be switched on and in a service
area with adequate cellular signal strength. Emer-
gency 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.
