● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical
noise
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
● When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
● When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the

● Part 15 of the FCC Rules & Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS stan-
dard(s)
• Properly shielded a grounded cables and connectors must be used for
connection to host computer and/or peripherals in order to meet FCC
emission limits.
• This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may

CAUTION
• This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forthfor 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 per-
missive 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).
• Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonne- ments énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les
règles les radioélectriques (RF) de la FCC lignes directrices d’exposi-
tion dans le Supplément C à OET65 et d’exposition aux fréquences
radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une éner-
gie RF très faible qui est considérée conforme sans évaluation de
l’exposition maximale autorisée.
Cependant, cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé en gardant une
distance de 20 cm ou plus entre le dispositif rayonnant et le corps (à
l’exception des extrémités : mains, poignets, pieds et chevilles).
• 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.
● Laser products
• Do not take this unit apart or attempt to make any changes yourself.
This is an intricate unit that uses a laser pickup to retrieve information
from the surface of compact discs. The laser is carefully shielded so
that its rays remain inside the cabinet. Therefore, never try to disassem-
ble the player or alter any of its parts since you may be exposed to laser
rays and dangerous voltages.
• This product utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL
INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
