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).

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites FCC/IC d’exposition aux rayonnements définies pour un environnement non

réglementé, aux lignes directrices de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences spécifiées dans le supplément C du

bulletin OET65 et aux régulations RSS-102 de l’IC sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences (RF). Cet équipement étant associé à de très

faibles niveaux d’énergie radiofréquence, il est considéré conforme sans évaluation de l’exposition maximale admise (EMA). Il est

cependant conseillé de l’installer et de l’utiliser en maintenant la source de rayonnement radioélectrique à 20 cm minimum du

corps (à l’exclusion des extrémités du corps, à savoir les mains, les poignets, les pieds et les chevilles).

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.

Selon les régulations d’Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radioélectrique peut uniquement fonctionner avec une antenne dont le

type et le gain maximum (ou inférieur) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire les perturbations radioélectriques

potentielles pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l’antenne doivent être choisis de façon que la puissance isotrope

rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas supérieure à la puissance nécessaire pour la réussite des communications.

This device complies with RSS-310 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause

harmful interference.

Cet appareil est conforme au cahier des charges CNR-310 d’Industrie Canada. Son emploi est soumis à la condition que l’appareil

ne provoque pas de brouillage préjudiciable.

Safety instructions/information for the Navigation System

Navigation System

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use of the Navigation System is only permitted if the

traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely

sure that no risk, obstruction or inconvenience will be

incurred to you, your passengers or other road users.

The requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations must

always be followed. The destination must not be

entered while driving the car.

The Navigation System serves solely as an aid to

navigation. It never releases the drivers from their

duties to drive carefully and to make own judgement

in road traffic. Inaccurate or incorrect instructions

may happen to be given due to changing traffic

conditions. The actual road signs and traffic regulations

must therefore always be observed. In particular,

the Navigation System cannot be used as an aid to

orientation when visibility is poor.

This Navigation System must only be used for its

intended purpose. The volume of the car radio/

Navigation System must be adjusted so that external

noise is still audible.

Navigation guidance is performed, based on the

database, therefore, it may not be applicable to

the current situation because of changes in traffic

conditions (e.g. changes in tollroads, principal roads,

one-way traffic, or other traffic regulations). In this

case, observe the current traffic signs or regulations.

• Traffic signs should be observed carefully while

driving using the Navigation System. Navigation

System is only an aid. Driver must always decide

whether or not to heed the information provided.

JVC does not accept liability for erroneous data

provided by the Navigation System.

• Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles

only. Special driving recommendations and

regulations for other vehicles (e.g. commercial

vehicles) are not included.

• Do not operate the unit while driving.

Terms of licence

You are granted a non-exclusive licence to use the

database for your personal purposes. The present

licence does not authorise the granting of sublicenses.

Use of the data is only permitted in this specific JVC

system. It is forbidden to extract or make further use

of significant parts of the database content, or to

duplicate, modify, adapt, translate, analyse, decompile

or reverse-engineer any part thereof.

WARNING:

Map content, including names and appearance of streets

and bridges, POI information, etc. may be inaccurate. If

the traffic rules displayed by the unit are different from

the actual traffic rules, obey the actual traffic rules.

Road traffic regulations always take priority when a

vehicle is being driven in traffic. Navigation System is

only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/

entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or

not to heed the information provided.

JVC does not accept liability for erroneous data provided

by the Navigation System.

Information/icons on the map

• The information on the map (such as street name, the

POI information, and speed limit) may not be always

displayed (for example, if the System does not have

the information of the position).

• Home ( ) and favorite point ( ) icons are

displayed after home/favorite points are registered.

• POI icons are displayed on the map depending on the

<POI Icon> setting (☞ page 15) and the map scale

is between 80 ft (25 m) and 800 ft (250 m).

– The following icons are displayed when the map

scale is between 80 ft (25 m) and 0.6 mi (1 km):

– Airport icon in the travel category

– Golf course icon in the leisure category

– Gas station icons

• POI icons may not be displayed correctly when the

System displays the wide area of map. In this case,

zoom in the map to display the detailed map.

About HD Radio Technology

• Digital, CD-quality sound. HD Radio Technology enables local radio stations to broadcast a

clean digital signal. AM sounds like today’s FM and FM sounds like a CD.

• Program Service Data: Contributes to the superior user experience of HD Radio Technology.

Presents song name, artist, station IDs, HD2/HD3 Channel Guide, and other relevant data

streams.

• Adjacent to traditional main stations are extra local FM channels. These HD2/HD3 Channels

provide new, original music as well as deep cuts into traditional genre.

• iTunes® Tagging provides you the opportunity to discover a wide range of content and the

means to “tag” that content for later review and purchase from the iTunes® Store.

•

Visual information related to content being played on your HD Radio receiver, such as Album

Art, historical photographs, still art from live broadcasts, among other related content.

•

With Digital Traffic, real-time traffic is delivered dramatically faster and with more useful

data than other available sources.

• With the Bookmark feature, you can save in the memory of your HD Radio receiver

information that you have heard and want to be sure to remember.

Your JVC receiver will present this information to you via a listing on your radio display.

Bookmark also presents QR Codes from advertisers on your radio display. Using a

smartphone QR Code app, you can directly link to that advertiser’s website or other related

information stored in the QR Code image.

• Your JVC receiver Channel Guide provides listings of HD Radio stations (including HD2/HD3

Channels) in your local market. On radios with touch screens, you may tune directly to HD

Radio channels simply by touching the desired program on the display.

You can tune in to both conventional and HD Radio broadcasts.

• Many HD Radio stations offer more than one channel of programming. This service is called multicasting.
