Declaration of Conformity

FCC

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 resi-

dential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions,may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or tel-

evision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-

rect 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.

Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could void

your authority to operate this equipment.

154

Features of your vehicle

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions :

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, includ-

ing interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

This equipment should be installed and operated with minmum 20cm between the radiator and your body. This trans-

mitter must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter unless authorized to

do so by the FCC.
