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.
