CAUTION
For vehicles sold in Canada
Tout changement ou toute modification de la construction non approuvé expres-
sément par l’abonné responsable de la co nformité risque d’annuler l’autorité de
l’utilisateur d’exploiter l’équipement.
Cet émetteur ne doit pas être co-implant é ou actionné en même temps qu’aucune
autre antenne ou émetteur.
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 chos en that the equivalent isotropically radi-
ated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Indu strie Canada, le présent émetteur radio
peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Ca nada. Dans le but de réduire les risques
de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équiva-
lente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une commu-
nication satisfaisante.
■Caution while driving
Do not use the cellular phone or connect the Bluetooth
® system.
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth® antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable distance between them-
selves and the Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of
such devices.
●Before using Bluetooth® devices, users of any electrical medical device other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufac-
turer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio
waves. Radio waves could have unexpect ed effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
NOTICE
■When leaving the vehicle
Do not leave your cellular phone in the vehicle. The inside of the vehicle may
