Warning
FOR THE CUSTOMERS IN THE USA. NOT
APPLICABLE IN CANADA, INCLUDING IN THE
PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.
POUR LES CLIENTS AUX ÉTATS-UNIS. NON
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.
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 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.
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
For the State of California, USA only
Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply,
See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/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
position
Be 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.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
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.

Dear customer, this product includes a radio
transmitter.
Please check your vehicle operation manual or
contact the manufacturer of your vehicle or your
vehicle dealer, before you install this product into
your vehicle.
Emergency calls
This BLUETOOTH car handsfree and the electronic
device connected to the handsfree operate using
radio signals, cellular, and landline networks as well
as user-programmed function, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic
device for essential communications (such as
medical emergencies).
On BLUETOOTH communication
 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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your unit that are not covered in this manual,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
