It is recommended that the Bluetooth car handsfree be installed under the dashboard of the car.

The Bluetooth car handsfree equipment is made for use in cars with a 12 volt electrical system. Other supply voltages may cause damage to the equipment. Radio frequency exposure Your Bluetooth car handsfree is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is low, 0.001 watt. Your Bluetooth car handsfree is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities and

international health agencies when used with any compatible Sony Ericsson or Ericsson mobile phone. 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, and safety equipment.

English 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.

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.
