. Part 15 FCC Rules
FCC Warning:
Any unauthorized changes of
modifications to this equipment
would void the user ’s authority to
operate this device.
CAUTION
. Do not leave the cell phone in the
vehicle. The temperature in the
vehicle may become extremely
high and cause a malfunction of
the cell phone. .
When using the cell phone, be
careful not to get it close to the
in-vehicle equipment. Getting it
too close to the in-vehicle equip-
ment may result in deterioration
in tone quality or a poor connect-
ing condition.
. In the frequency band used by
this equipment, along with indus-
trial, scientific and medical
equipment such as a microwave
oven, radio stations (a license is
required) to be used by the
production line in the factory to
identify movable bodies, specific
small power radio stations (a
license is not required) and ama-
teur radio stations (a license is
required) are being operated.
(These three types of radio sta-
tions are hereinafter referred toas “other radio stations ”.) Before
using this equipment, be sure to
check to see if “other radio
stations ”are being operated in
the vicinity. If there is detrimental
radio interference from this
equipment to “other radio sta-
tions ”, move the equipment to
another location as soon as
possible to avoid radio interfer-
ence. The frequency band used by this equipment is in the 2.4
GHz zone. The FH-SS modulation
is employed as a modulation
method. The expected inflicting
interference distance is less than
33 ft (10 m). This equipment uses
a full band and can avoid a band
used by a movable body identifi-
cation device.
