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.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and Industry Canada's licence-exempt
RSSs. 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 the device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this
radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.
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 is deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE).
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.

Emergency calls
This BLUETOOTH boat handsfree and the
electronic device connected to the
handsfree operate using radio signals,
cellular, and landline networks as well as
user-programmed function, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore do not rely solely upon any
electronic device for essential
communications (such as medical
emergencies).
On BLUETOOTH communication
Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH
device may affect the operation of
electronic medical devices. Turn off this
unit and other BLUETOOTH devices in the
following locations, as it may cause an
accident.
– where inflammable gas is present, in a
hospital, train, airplane, or petrol station
– near automatic doors or a fire alarm
This unit supports security capabilities that
comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to
provide a secure connection when the
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used,
but security may not be enough
depending on the setting. Be careful when
communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless
technology.
We do not take any responsibility for the
leakage of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, consult your nearest Sony
dealer.

Preparing a BLUETOOTH
Device
You can enjoy music, or perform handsfree
calling depending on the BLUETOOTH
compatible device such as a smartphone,
cellular phone and audio device (hereafter
“BLUETOOTH device” if not otherwise
specified). For details on connecting, refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the
device.
Before connecting the device, turn down the
volume of this unit; otherwise, loud sound
may result.
By touching the control dial on the unit with
an NFC* compatible smartphone, the unit is
paired and connected with the smartphone
automatically.
* NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology
enabling short-range wireless communication
between various devices, such as mobile phones
and IC tags. Thanks to the NFC function, data
communication can be achieved easily just by
touching the relevant symbol or designated
location on NFC compatible devices.
For a smartphone with Android OS 4.0 or
lower installed, downloading the app “NFC
Easy Connect” available at Google Play™ is
required. The app may not be downloadable
in some countries/regions.
1Activate the NFC function on the
smartphone.
For details, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the
smartphone.
2Touch the N-Mark part of the unit
