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.

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.

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,
