Warning

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules

and Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs.

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).

CAUTION

The use of optical instruments with this product will

increase eye hazard.

Chemical Burn Hazard.

The remote commander contains a coin/

button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is

swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just

2 hours and can lead to death.

Keep new and used batteries away from children. If

the battery compartment does not close securely,

stop using the product and keep it away from

children.

If you think batteries might have been swallowed or

placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate

medical attention.

Note on the lithium battery

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as

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

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.

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.

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.

Preparing a BLUETOOTH Device

You can enjoy music, or perform handsfree calling

depending on the BLUETOOTH compatible device

such as a smartphone, cellular phone and audio

device (hereafter “BLUETOOTH device” if not

otherwise specified). For details on connecting,

refer to the operating instructions supplied with the

device.

Before connecting the device, turn down the

volume of this unit; otherwise, loud sound may

result.

By touching the control dial on the unit with an

NFC* compatible smartphone, the unit is paired and

connected with the smartphone automatically.

* NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology

enabling short-range wireless communication

between various devices, such as mobile phones and

IC tags. Thanks to the NFC function, data

communication can be achieved easily just by

touching the relevant symbol or designated location

on NFC compatible devices.

For a smartphone with Android OS 4.0 or lower

installed, downloading the app “NFC Easy Connect”

available at Google Play™ is required. The app may

not be downloadable in some countries/regions.

1 Activate the NFC function on the

smartphone.

smartphone carefully to prevent scratches.

 One touch connection is not possible when the unit is

already connected to two NFC compatible devices. In

this case, disconnect either device, and make

connection with the smartphone again.

When connecting a BLUETOOTH device for the first

time, mutual registration (called “pairing”) is

required. Pairing enables this unit and other devices
