THIS PRODUCT CMPLIES WITH DHHS RULES
21 CFR SUBCHAPTER J IN EFFECT DATE OF MANUFACTURE.
Location : Top Panel
FCC WARNING
This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.
FCC NOTE
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 reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications, if it is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 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 equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
-
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID : RKXFC6000S
- Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5119A-FC6000S
IC (Industry Canada) Notice
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The term "IC:" before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specification were met.
CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement 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 operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person's body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles)..
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Installation Procedure
1 To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the battery.
2 Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
3 Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
4 Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground, battery, ignition.
5 Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
6 Install the unit in your car.
7 Reconnect the battery.
8 Press the reset button.
WARNING
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
- Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety's sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.
- Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.
- Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
- Do not use your own screws. Use only the supplied screws. Using wrong screws, could damage the unit.
- If the power is not turned ON ("Protect" is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be checked.
- If your car's ignition key switch does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wires to a constant-voltage power source, as with battery wires, the battery may die.
- If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when it is closed or opened.
- If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching other parts to cause a short circuit, and then replace the old fuse with one with a new the same rating.
- Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar materials. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires and terminals.
- Connect the speaker wires correctly to the corresponding terminals. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
- When connecting only two speakers, connect the connectors either to both of the front output terminals or to both of the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear terminals). For example, if you connect the connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the connector to a rear output terminal.
• After the installing the unit, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
- Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30^ or less.
- Reception may become poor if there are metal objects near the Bluetooth antenna

For Good Reception
To assure good reception, note the following:
- Communicate with the cell-phone within the line-of-sight distance of 10 m (30 ft). The communication range becomes shorter depending on the surrounding environment. The communication range also becomes shorter when there is an obstacle between this unit and the cell-phone. The above maximum communication range (10 m) is not always assured.
- A broadcast station or walkie-talkie located nearby can interfere with communication due to a too strong signal.
