APPLICABLE AU CANADA, Y COMPRIS LA
PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC.
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
equipment.
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 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).
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.

perchlorate
Note on the lithium battery
Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as
direct sunlight, fire or the like.
Warning if your car’s ignition has no ACC

Be sure to set the AUTO OFF function (page 17).
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules
and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, 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.

About BLUETOOTH function
What is BLUETOOTH technology?
 BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology that enables wireless data
communication between digital devices, such as
a cellular phone and a headset. BLUETOOTH
wireless technology operates within a range of
about 10 m (33 ft). Connecting two devices is
common, but some devices can be connected to
multiple devices at the same time.
 You do not need to use a cable for connection
since BLUETOOTH technology is a wireless
technology, neither is it necessary for the devices
to face one another, such is the case with infrared
technology. For example, you can use such a
device in a bag or pocket.
 BLUETOOTH technology is an international
standard supported by millions of companies all
over the world, and employed by various
companies worldwide.
 Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device
may affect the operation of electronic medical
devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH
devices in the following locations, as it may cause
an accident.
 where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
train, airplane, or petrol station
 near automatic doors or a fire alarm
 This unit supports security capabilities that
comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide
a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH
wireless technology is used, but security may not
be enough depending on the setting. Be careful
when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless
technology.
 We do not take any responsibility for the leakage
of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.
 Connection with all BLUETOOTH devices cannot
be guaranteed.
 A device featuring BLUETOOTH function is
required to conform to the BLUETOOTH
standard specified by BLUETOOTH SIG, and be
authenticated.
 Even if the connected device conforms to the
above mentioned BLUETOOTH standard, some
devices may not be connected or work
correctly, depending on the features or
specifications of the device.
 While talking on the phone hands free, noise
may occur, depending on the device or
communication environment.
 Depending on the device to be connected, it may
require some time to start communication.
On BLUETOOTH communication
 BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within
a range of about 10 m (33 ft).
Maximum communication range may vary
depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.)
or electromagnetic environment.
 The following conditions may affect the sensitivity
of BLUETOOTH communication.
 There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or
wall between this unit and BLUETOOTH device.
 A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a
wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or
microwave oven, is in use near this unit.
 Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency,
microwave interference may occur and result in
communication speed deterioration, noise, or
invalid connection if this unit is used near a
wireless LAN device. In such as case, perform the
following.
 Use this unit at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
wireless LAN device.
 If this unit is used within 10 m (33 ft) of a
wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN
device.
 Install this unit and BLUETOOTH device as near
to each other as possible.
Others
 Using the BLUETOOTH device may not function on
cellular phones, depending on radio wave
conditions and location where the equipment is
being used.
 If you experience discomfort after using the
BLUETOOTH device, stop using the BLUETOOTH
device immediately. Should any problem persist,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your unit that are not covered in this manual,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
