WARNING
●While driving, do not use a cellular
phone or connect the Bluetooth® phone.
●Your audio unit is fitted with
Bluetooth® antennas. People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, car-diac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reason-able distance between themselves 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 pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should con-
sult 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
