4500BT IC: 775E-K054

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt

RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) this device may

not cause interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference, including inter-

ference that may cause undesired operation

This transmitter must not be co-located or op-

erated in conjunction with any other antenna

The antenna for Bluetooth cannot be removed

(or replaced) by user.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radia-

tion exposure limits set forth for an uncon-

trolled environment and meets the FCC radio

frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Sup-

plement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC

radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This

equipment has very low levels of RF energy

that it deemed to comply without maximum

permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it

is desirable that it should be installed and op-

erated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or

more away from person’s body (excluding ex-

tremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Alteration or modifications carried out with-

out appropriate authorization may invalidate

the user’s right to operate the equipment.

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 reason-

able protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-

quency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio commu-

nications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particu-

lar installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television re-

ception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the user is encour-

aged 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 equip-

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the re-

ceiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

The Safety of Your Ears is in

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it

at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come

through clearly without annoying blaring or dis-

tortion and, most importantly, without affecting

your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving.

Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to

higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “nor-

mal” can actually be loud and harmful to your

hearing. Guard against this by setting your

equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

! Set your volume control at a low setting.

! Slowly increase the sound until you can hear

it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

! Once you have established a comfortable

sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

! Do not turn up the volume so high that you

can’t hear what’s around you.

! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use

in potentially hazardous situations.

! Do not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle; the use of headphones

may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in

The tuner frequencies on this unit are allocated

for use in North America. Use in other areas

may result in poor reception.

WARNING Handling the cord on this product or cords asso-

ciated with accessories sold with the product

may expose you to chemicals listed on proposi-

tion 65 known to the State of California and

other governmental entities to cause cancer and

birth defect or other reproductive harm. Wash

hands after handling.

! Do not allow this unit to come into contact

with liquids. Electrical shock could result.

Also, damage to this unit, smoke, and over-

heating could result from contact with

! Always keep the volume low enough to hear

! Avoid exposure to moisture.

! If the battery is disconnected or discharged,

any preset memory will be erased.

Important (Serial number)

The serial number is located on the bottom of

this unit. For your own security and conven-

ience, be sure to record this number on the en-

closed warranty card.
