® cannot be
removed (or replaced) by 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 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 with-
out maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable
that it should be installed and operated
keeping the radiator at least 7.9 in. (20
cm) or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists,
feet and ankles).
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 pro-
tection against harmful interference in
a residential installation.

® antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices.
Before using Bluetooth
® devices, users of any electrical medical device other than
implanted pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult the manufac-
turer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
NOTICE
Do not leave your phone in the vehicle. The temperature inside may rise to a level that
could damage the phone.
Do not press down on or apply unnecessary pressure to the iPhone while it is connected
as this may damage the iPhone or its terminal.
Do not insert foreign objects into the USB port as this may damage the iPhone or its ter-
minal.
INFORMATION
This system has a charging function for iPhones.
When the battery level of a phone is very low, the phone may not operate. If so, charge
the phone before use.
Depending on the portable player that is connected to the system, certain functions may
not be available. If a function is unavailable due to a malfunction, disconnecting your por-
table player and reconnecting it may resolve the problem.
It is required to have Aha launched on the phone before connection.
It may take time, the phone connection is carried out during Aha audio play.
Aha offers more than 30,000 stations of audio content from internet music, news,
audiobooks, personalized restaurant recommendations, weather and hotel search-
es, Facebook and Twitter newsfeeds and much more.

selecting while it is playing.
In the following conditions, the system may not function:
• The Bluetooth
® device is turned off.
• The Bluetooth
® device is not connected.
• The Bluetooth
® device has a low battery.
It may take time to connect the phone when Bluetooth
® audio is being played.
Portable audio players must correspond to the following specifications in order to be con-
nected to the Bluetooth
® audio system. However, please note that some functions may
be limited depending on the type of portable audio player.

10. AUDIO SYSTEM OPERATING HINT
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the ve-
hicle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering. Sta-
tion swapping: If the FM signal being lis-
tened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a ra-
dio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast. Static: AM is easily affected by exter-
nal sources of electrical noise, such as
high tension power lines, lightening or
electrical motors. This results in static.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the audio system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
INFORMATION
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise from
the speakers of the audio system which
you are listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
RADIO
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
the radio — it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or phone wires can inter-
fere with AM signals. And of course, ra-
dio signals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a station, the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly
as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

2. HANDS-FREE SYSTEM
The hands-free system enables calls
to be made and received without hav-
ing to take your hands off the steering
wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth
®.
Bluetooth
® is a wireless data system
that enables cellular phones to be used
without being connected by a cable or
placed in a cradle. The operating pro-
cedure of the phone is explained here.
CAUTION
While driving, do not use a cellular
phone or connect the Bluetooth® phone.
Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth®
antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroniza-
tion 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-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators
should consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its operation
under the influence of radio waves. Radio
waves could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical devices.
NOTICE
Do not leave your cellular phone in the
vehicle. The temperature inside may rise
to a level that could damage the phone.
INFORMATION
If your cellular phone does not support
Bluetooth®, this system cannot function.
In the following conditions, the system
may not function:
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the
communication area.
• The cellular phone is not connected.
• The cellular phone has a low battery.
When using Bluetooth
® audio and
hands-free at the same time, the follow-
ing problems may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may be
cut.
• Noise may be heard on the Bluetooth
®
audio playback.
