Installation
Please note that only authorized personnel should install the car
handsfree. Please check with your car dealer for recommendations of
professional installation engineers. It is recommended that the car
handsfree be installed under the dashboard of the car. The car holder
should be installed on the dashboard of the car, so that you can reach
the keys from your normal driving position. Some car manufacturers
require that you use an external antenna for your phone. Check with
your car manufacturer’s representative to be sure that all equipment
for the car handsfree, including additional accessories, is placed in a
safe location. If your car is equipped with an air bag, check that the
handsfree equipment does not interfere with its function.
The car handsfree equipment is made for use in cars with a 12 volt
electrical system. Other supply voltages may cause damage to
the equipment.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile 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.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such
as car stereo, safety equipment etc. Check with your vehicle
manufacturer’s representative to be sure that your mobile phone or car
handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
Electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore:
Do not use your car handsfree near medical equipment without
requesting permission. If you are using any personal medical devices,
e.g. a pacemaker or a hearing aid, please see your mobile phone’s user
guide for further information.
Blasting areas
Turn off all your electronic devices when in a blasting area or in areas
posted turn off two-way radio to avoid interfering with blasting
operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your electronic device could
generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your car handsfree since it contains
small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This car handsfree and the electronic device connected to the hands
free operate using radio signals, cellular and landline networks as well
as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection
under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
electronic device for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the handsfree and the
electronic device connected to the handsfree must be switched on and
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.
