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). 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.Note on the lithium batteryDo not expose the battery to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or the like.Disclaimer regarding services offered by third partiesServices offered by third parties may be changed, suspended, or terminated without prior notice. Sony does not bear any responsibility in these sorts of situations.Warning if your car’s ignition has no ACC positionBe sure to set the AUTO OFF function (page 19). The unit will shut off completely and automatically in the set time after the unit is turned off, which prevents battery drain. If you do not set the AUTO OFF function, press and hold OFF until the display disappears each time you turn the ignition off.010COV.book Page 3 Wednesday, September 2, 2015 3:41 PMFor the State of California, USA onlyPerchlorate Material – special handling may apply, Seewww.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
