Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio system. This does not mean that
something is wrong with the audio equip-
ment. In such a case, try to operate
mobile devices as far from the audio
equipment as possible.
When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular
phone or a radio set is used with an inter-
nal antenna alone, it may interfere with
the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone while
driving. Stop at a safe location to
use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Driver Distraction
Do not stare at the screen while
driving. Staring at the screen for
prolonged periods of time could
lead to traffic accidents.
Using the phone while driving may lead to a lack of attention of
traffic conditions and increase
the likelihood of accidents. Use
the phone feature after parking
the vehicle.
WARNING- Audio System
Do not disassemble, assemble, or
modify the audio system. Such acts
could result in fire or electric
shock.
WARNING- Antenna
Do not touch the antenna during
thunder or lightening as such acts
may lead to lightning induced elec-
tric shock.
CAUTION
Refrain from use if the screen isblank or no sound can be heard as these signs may indicate productmalfunction.
