connections manual.

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.

This equipment complies with FCC and IC

radiation exposure limits set forth for

uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC

radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in

Supplement C to OET65 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 with at least 20 cm and more between

the radiator and person's body (excluding

extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

You are cautioned that any changes or

modifications not expressly approved in this

manual could void your authority to operate this

equipment.

Warning if your car’s ignition has no

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).

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the

handsfree and the electronic device connected to the

handsfree must be switched on in a service area with

adequate cellular signal strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular

phone networks or when certain network services

and/or phone features are in use.

Check with your local service provider.

Note on the lithium battery

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as

direct sunlight, fire or the like.

Bluetooth function

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 9 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.

Pairing

First, register (“pair”) a Bluetooth device

(cellular phone, etc.) and this unit with each

other. You can pair up to 9 devices. Once pairing

is established, there is no need for pairing again.

1 Place the Bluetooth device within 1 m

(3 ft) of this unit.

2 Press and hold (BT) until “ ” flashes

(about 5 seconds).

The unit enters pairing standby mode.

3 Set the Bluetooth device to search for

this unit.

A list of detected devices appears in the

display of the device to be connected. This

unit is displayed as “XPLOD” on the device

to be connected.

4 If Passcode* input is required on the

display of the device to be connected,

input “0000.”

This unit and the Bluetooth device memorize

each other’s information, and when pairing is

made, the unit is ready for connection to the

device.

“ ” flashes and then stays lit after pairing is

complete.

5 Set the Bluetooth device to connect to

this unit.

“ ” or “ ” appears when the connection is

made.

* Passcode may be called “passkey,” “PIN code,” “PIN

number” or “Password,” etc., depending on the

device.

Note

Pairing standby mode is not released until the

connection is made.

Additional Information

Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power antenna (aerial) will extend automatically

while the unit is operating.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture

condensation may occur inside the lenses and

display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will

not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc

and wait for about an hour until the moisture has

evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks

onto the unit or discs.

Notes on discs

• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface.

Handle the disc by its edge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines

when not in use.

• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature.

Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a

dashboard/rear tray.

• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/

residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used,

causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers

attached.

The following malfunctions may result from using

such discs:

– Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker

peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).

– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat

shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to

warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,

square, star) cannot be played on this unit.

Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not

use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm (3

1

/4 in) CDs.
