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, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency

(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from persons body. Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. If you have any questions about this product:

Connection/Installation Cautions Do not install this unit in a car that has no ACC position. The display of the unit does not turn off even after turning the ignition off, and this causes battery drain. Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point. Do not get the leads trapped under a screw or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing). Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits. Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected. Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety. Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations. Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts. Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation. Be sure to use the supplied USB extension cables. To avoid injury, be careful not to drop the display during installation. When installing, be careful not to cut off your fingers with the metal parts of the brackets and mounting base. Do not pinch your fingers when attaching the display to the unit. When using the unit for a long period of time, there may be a possibility that the screws securing the display may come loose. Periodically tighten these screws. Do not make any changes or modifications to the unit other than those described in this manual. Note on the power supply lead (yellow) When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each components fuse amperage rating. Note on installing in cars with a start-stop system The unit may restart when starting the engine from start-

stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system of your car. Note on installing in cars with electric parking brake system For cars with electric parking brakes, some related functions

(such as video blocking function) may not work properly.

BINDING ARBITRATION (ONLY FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS) ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT RESOLVED THROUGH THE INFORMAL NEGOTIATION PROCESS DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. DISPUTE is defined as any disagreement, cause of action, claim, controversy, or proceeding between you and any Sony entity related to or arising out of the SOFTWARE or this EULA. DISPUTE is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. If a DISPUTE arises, you agree to first give notice to SONY by contacting Sony Electronics Inc. at 16530 Via Esprillo, MZ 1105, San Diego, CA 92127, Attn: Legal Department, and engaging in good faith negotiations to attempt to resolve any DISPUTE for at least 14 days, except that you or Sony (or any of its affiliates) may skip this informal negotiation procedure for DISPUTE enforcing, protecting, or concerning the validity of intellectual property rights. ARBITRATION INSTRUCTIONS (ONLY FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS) To begin arbitration, either you or SONY must make a written demand to the other for arbitration. The arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. It will be administered in keeping with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and the Supplementary Proceedings for Consumer-Related disputes when applicable (Rules) of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in effect when the claim is filed. You may get a copy of AAAs Rules by contacting AAA at (800) 778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and SONY, but in no event shall your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the special rules for Consumers Disputes provided for by AAA, at which point SONY will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. This does not prohibit the arbitrator from giving the winning party their fees and expenses of the arbitration when appropriate pursuant to the Rules. Unless you and SONY agree differently, the arbitration will take place in the county and state where you live, and applicable federal or state law shall govern the substance of any DISPUTE. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq., will govern the arbitration itself and not any state law on arbitration. The arbitrators decision will be binding and final, except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief XAV-AX4000 5-035-401-11(1) F:\Works\5035401111\5035401111XAVAX400UC\01GB-XAVAX400UC\050EUL.fm 010COV.book Page 19 Thursday, September 2, 2021 3:50 PM masterpage: Right only in favor of the party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that partys individual claim. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrators decision.

$15,000, and as long as such court has proper jurisdiction and all other requirements (including amount in controversy) are satisfied. CLASS ACTION WAIVER (ONLY FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS) YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ANY DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND BOTH PARTIES AGREE NOT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, UNLESS ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE DISPUTE SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO DO SO IN WRITING FOLLOWING INITIATION OF THE ARBITRATION. OPT-OUT INSTRUCTIONS (ONLY FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS) IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND/OR THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER ABOVE, THEN: (1) YOU MUST NOTIFY SONY IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST USE THE SOFTWARE OR AGREE TO THIS EULA, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST;

(2) YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE MAILED TO SONY ELECTRONICS INC., 16530 VIA ESPRILLO, MZ 1105, SAN DIEGO CA 92127, ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT; AND (3) YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST INCLUDE: (A) YOUR NAME; (B) YOUR ADDRESS; (C) THE DATE YOU FIRST USED THE SOFTWARE OR AGREED TO THIS EULA; AND (D) A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH ANY SONY ENTITY THROUGH ARBITRATION AND/OR TO BE BOUND BY THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER. REJECTING CHANGES MADE TO THE DISPUTE PROCEDURES (ONLY FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS) Despite anything to the contrary in this EULA, you may reject changes made to the binding arbitration provision and class action waiver if: (1) youve already begun authorized use of the SOFTWARE at the time the change was/is made; and (2) you mail written notice to the address in the immediately preceding paragraph within 30 days after the particular change was/is made. Should such a situation arise, you will still be bound by the DISPUTE procedures you previously agreed to and existing before the change you rejected was made. MISCELLANEOUS (ONLY FOR UNITED STATES RESIDENTS) Any DISPUTE determined not subject to arbitration and not initiated in small claims court will be litigated by either party in a court of competent jurisdiction in either the superior court for the County of San Diego or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. JURISDICTION, JURY TRIAL WAIVER (ONLY FOR CANADA RESIDENTS) The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this EULA.

The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable.
