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
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
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.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this

Bluetooth operations
To use the Bluetooth function, the following
procedure is necessary.
1 Pairing
When connecting Bluetooth devices for the
first time, mutual registration is required. This
is called “pairing.” This registration (pairing)
is required only for the first time, as this unit
and the other devices will recognize each
other automatically from the next time. You
can pair up to 8 devices. (Depending on the
device, you may need to input a passcode for
each connection.)
2 Connection
To use the device after pairing is made, start
the connection. Sometimes pairing allows to
connect automatically.
3 Handsfree calling/Music streaming
You can talk handsfree and listen to music
when the connection is made.
