route from your current location to your destina-
tion. To stop your navigation system from
listening out for further commands, say
“Cancel”.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the internal wire -
less radio is far below the FCC and IC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
wireless radio will be used in such a manner
that the radio is 8 inch (20 cm) or further from
the human body.
The internal wireless radio operates within
guidelines found in radio frequency safety stan -
dards and recommendations, which reflect the
consensus of the scientific community. The radio manufacturer believes the internal
wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The
level of energy emitted is far less than the elec
-
tromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices
such as mobile phones. However, the use of
wireless radios may be restricted in some situa-
tions or environments, such as aboard
airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you
are encouraged to ask for authorization before
turning on the wireless radio.
The following regulatory statement applies to all
Radio Frequency (RF) devices equipped in this
