   DAMAGES OR OTHER DAMAGES INCLUDING,
   WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF
   REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE OF THE

   OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, ITS
   HARDWARE AND/OR ITS SOFTWARE.
   Dear customer, this product includes a radio
   transmitter.
   Please check your vehicle operation manual or
   contact the manufacturer of your vehicle or your
   vehicle dealer, before you install this product into
   your vehicle.

   Emergency calls
   This BLUETOOTH car handsfree and the electronic
   device connected to the handsfree operate using
   radio signals, cellular, and landline networks as well
   as user-programmed function, which cannot
   guarantee connection under all conditions.
   Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic
   device for essential communications (such as
   medical emergencies).

   On BLUETOOTH communication
    Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device
     may affect the operation of electronic medical
     devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH
     devices in the following locations, as it may cause
     an accident.
     – where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
       train, airplane, or petrol station
     – near automatic doors or a fire alarm
    This unit supports security capabilities that
     comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide
     a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH
     wireless technology is used, but security may not
     be enough depending on the setting. Be careful
     when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless
     technology.
    We do not take any responsibility for the leakage
     of information during BLUETOOTH
     communication.

   If you have any questions or problems concerning
   your unit that are not covered in this manual,
   consult your nearest Sony dealer.
