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 equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possi-
ble.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle'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.

ing thunder or lightening as
such acts may lead to lightning
induced electric shock.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 acci-
dents. Use the phone feature
after parking the vehicle.
WARNING- Audio System
Do not disassemble, assem- ble, or modify the audio sys-
tem. Such acts could result in
fire or electric shock.

objects into the device. Such
acts could lead to smoke, fire,
or product malfunction.
