Please check for exceptions, due to national
requirement or limitations, in usage of
Bluetooth equipment before using this
product.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
cellular phones and handsfree equipment in
the areas where you drive.
Always give full attention to driving and pull
off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
Connecting to other devices
When connecting to any other device, please
read its user guide for detailed safety
instructions.
Radio frequency exposure
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
cars, such as electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems or air bag
systems. For installation or service of this
device, please consult with the manufacturer
or its representative of your car. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty that may apply to
this device.
Consult with the manufacturer of your car to
ensure that the use of your cellular phone in
the car will not affect its electronic system.
Check regularly that all wireless device
equipment in your car is mounted and
operating properly.
Emergency calls
This Bluetooth car 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).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls,
the handsfree and the electronic device
connected to the handsfree must be switched
on in a service area with adequate cellular
signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all
cellular phone networks or when certain
network services and/or phone features are in
use.
Check with your local service provider.
