Information to User
MODEL NO. : AVH-280BT
Contains FCC ID : AJDK083
Contains/Contient IC : 775E-K083
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and
Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of this device.
The Bluetooth antenna 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
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 without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it
should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at
least 20 cm or more away from person’s body (excluding
extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Alteration or modifications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right
to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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 protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION:
USE OF CONTROL OR ADJUSTMENT OR PERFORMANCE
OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN
MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT
WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
CAUTION
This product is a Class 1 laser product classified under the
Safety of laser products, IEC 60825-1:2007, and contains a
class 1M laser module. To ensure continued safety, do not
remove any covers or attempt to gain access to the inside of
the product. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION—CLASS 1M VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE
LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN, DO NOT VIEW
DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California and other governmental entities to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
The Safety of Your Ears is in Your
Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level—
a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoy-
ing blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting
your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your
hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably
and clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set
the dial and leave it there.

Parking brake interlock
Certain functions (such as viewing of video image and certain
touch panel key operations) offered by this product could be
dangerous (possibly resulting in serious injury or death) and/
or unlawful if used while driving. To prevent such functions from
being used while the vehicle is in motion, there is an interlock
system that senses when the parking brake is set and when the
vehicle is moving. If you attempt to use the functions described
above while driving, they will become disabled until you stop
the vehicle in a safe place, and (1) apply the parking brake, (2)
release the parking brake, and then (3) apply the parking brake
again. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down before releas-
ing the parking brake.
