1. SAFETY
1.1 Safety precaution
# WARNING
Do not operate any function that takes your
attention away from safe driving.
# CAUTION
Volume setting:
• Adjust the volume so that you can hear sounds
outside the car to prevent accident.
• Lower the volume before playing digital sources
to avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden
increase of the output level.
General:
• Avoid using the USB device or iPod/iPhone if it
might hinder driving safety.
• Make sure all important data has been backed
up. We shall bear no responsibility for any loss of
recorded data.
• Never put or leave any metallic objects (such as
coins or metal tools) inside the unit, to prevent a
short circuit.
• If a disc error occurs due to condensation on the
laser lens, eject the disc and wait for the moisture to
evaporate.
Remote control (RC-406):
• Do not leave the remote control in hot places such
as on the dashboard.
• The Lithium battery is in danger of explosion if
replaced incorrectly. Replace it only with the same
or equivalent type.
• The battery pack or batteries shall not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
• Keep battery out of reach of children and in
original package until ready to use. Dispose of used
batteries promptly. If swallowed, contact a physician
immediately.
1.2 Important information
Maintenance
• Cleaning the unit: Wipe off the dirt on the panel
with a dry silicon or soft cloth.
• Cleaning the connector: Detach the faceplate
and clean the connector with a cotton swab gently,
being careful not to damage the connector.
Condensation
When the car is air-conditioned, moisture may collect
on the laser lens. This may cause disc read errors. In
this case, remove the disc and wait for the moisture
to evaporate.
How to reset your unit
If this unit fails to operate properly, press the reset
button. The unit returns to the factory settings when
the reset button is pressed.

THIS PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH DHHS RULES
21 CFR SUBCHAPTER J IN EFFECT AT DATE OF
MANUFACTURE.
Location : Top plate
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.
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
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.
IC (Industry Canada) Notice
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-
exempt RSS standard(s).
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.
The term “IC: ” before the certification/ registration
number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specification were met.
#CAUTION
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).
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.

About Supreme
• Technology to extrapolate and supplement with proprietary
algorithm, the high-frequency range that is cut off when
encoding at low bit rate.
Supplementing is optimized by compression format (AAC,
MP3, WMA or WAV) and processed according to bit rate.
The effect is negligible with music that is encoded at high
bit rate, variable bit rate or has minimal high frequency
range.
