This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The Bluetooth antenna cannot be removed (or replaced) by the user. 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 is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). However, it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from a person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles). Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user's right to operate the equipment.

NOTE: 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:

• Relocate or reorient 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.

Installation

Before Installing This Product

To avoid potential shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (-) battery cable before installation. Use this unit with a 12-Volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating specified on this product. To avoid short-circuiting, cover any disconnected leads with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate any unused wires, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit. When connecting other devices to this product, refer to the manual for the product to be connected. The black cable is ground; make sure to connect the ground wire first. Ensure that the ground wire is properly connected to metal parts of the vehicle's body frame or direct to the battery if your vehicle does not have a grounded chassis frame. The ground wire of this unit's power amp and a second powered system must be connected to the frame separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire or malfunction.
