Installation Please note that only authorised personnel should install the Bluetooth car handsfree. Please check with your car dealer for recommendations on professional installation engineers. It is recommended that the Bluetooth car handsfree be installed under the dashboard of the car. The control panel of the Bluetooth car handsfree should be installed on the dashboard of the car, so that you can reach the keys from your normal driving position. Some car manufacturers require that you use an external antenna for your phone.

If your car is equipped with an air bag, check that the handsfree equipment does not interfere with its function. The Bluetooth car handsfree equipment is made for use in cars with a 12 volt electrical system. Other supply voltages may cause damage to the equipment. Radio frequency exposure Your Bluetooth car handsfree is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is low, 0.001 watt. Your Bluetooth car handsfree is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities and 14 international health agencies when used with any compatible Sony Ericsson or Ericsson mobile phone. Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones and handsfree equipment in the areas where you drive. Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as car stereo, and safety equipment. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that your mobile phone or Bluetooth car handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle. Electronic equipment Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore:
Do not use your Bluetooth car handsfree near medical equipment without permission. If you are using any personal medical device, such as a pacemaker or a hearing aid, please check in your mobile phone's User's Guide for related information. Blasting areas Turn off all your electronic devices when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn off two-way radio to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. HCB-300_UG_EN.book Page 15 Monday, March 8, 2004 10:16 AM Draft for Sony Ericsson Internal Use Only English Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider.
