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.
Warning
FOR UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS. NOT
APPLICABLE IN CANADA, INCLUDING IN
THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.
This transmitter must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
POUR LES CONSOMMATEURS AUX
ÉTATS-UNIS. NON APPLICABLE AU
CANADA, Y COMPRIS LA PROVINCE DE
QUÉBEC.
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 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:
This equipment complies with FCC/IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment 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 keeping the radiator at least 20
cm or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet
and ankles).
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
– 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.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.

Notes on speaker connection
Remarques sur le raccordement des haut-parleurs
English
Français
Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
Avant de raccorder les haut-parleurs, éteignez l'appareil.
Utilisez des haut-parleurs ayant une impédance de 4 à 8 ohms avec une
capacité électrique adéquate pour éviter de les endommager.
Ne raccordez pas les bornes du système de haut-parleurs au châssis de
la voiture et ne raccordez pas les bornes du haut-parleur droit à celles
du haut-parleur gauche.
Connection diagram (
)
Schéma de raccordement (

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with adequate
power handling capacities to avoid its damage.
Do not connect the speaker terminals to the car chassis, or connect the
terminals of the right speakers with those of the left speaker.
Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the negative (–)
terminal of the speaker.

N’essayez pas de raccorder les haut-parleurs en parallèle.
Raccordez uniquement des haut-parleurs passifs. Le raccordement de
haut-parleurs actifs (avec amplificateurs intégrés) aux bornes des
haut-parleurs peut endommager l’appareil.
Connect only passive speakers. Connecting active speakers (with
built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals may damage the unit.
To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker leads installed in
your car if the unit shares a common negative (–) lead for the right and
left speakers.

Remarques
It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is no power antenna
(aerial) or antenna (aerial) booster, or with a manually-operated
telescopic antenna (aerial).
When your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the rear/
side glass, see “Notes on the control and power supply leads.”
This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V
DC operation only.
Cet appareil est exclusivement conçu pour fonctionner
sur une tension de 12 V CC avec masse négative.
Évitez de fixer des vis sur les câbles ou de coincer ceux-ci
dans des pièces mobiles (par exemple, armature de siège).
Avant d’effectuer les raccordements, coupez le moteur
pour éviter un court-circuit.
Il n’est pas nécessaire de raccorder ce câble s’il n’y a pas d’antenne
électrique ni d’amplificateur d’antenne, ou avec une antenne
télescopique manuelle.
Si votre voiture est équipée d’une antenne FM/AM intégrée dans la
vitre arrière/latérale, voir « Remarques sur les câbles de commande
et d’alimentation ».
Pour éviter tout problème de fonctionnement, n’utilisez pas les câbles
des haut-parleurs intégrés installés dans votre voiture si l’appareil
possède un câble négatif commun (–) pour les haut-parleurs droit et

Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in moving
parts (e.g. seat railing).
Do not connect the unit’s speaker leads to each other.
