Using a Mobile Phone or Two-Way Radio

Using a mobile phone inside the vehicle may cause interference with the audio system, but this does not mean the audio system is malfunctioning. In this case, try to use mobile devices as far away as possible from the audio equipment.

NOTICE

When using a communication system inside the vehicle, such as a mobile phone or radio, a separate external antenna must be installed. If a mobile phone or radio is used with only an internal antenna, interference with the vehicle's electrical system may occur and affect the safe operation of the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not use a mobile phone while driving. You must stop in a suitable place to make a call.

NOTICE:

File (Folder) Playback Order:

1. Track playback order: 1 to 14 in sequence.

NOTICE

If you use the device while driving, you may have an accident because your attention is reduced. Be sure to park your vehicle in advance.

• Adjust the volume so that the driver can hear sounds from outside the vehicle. Driving without being able to hear outside sounds is a cause of accidents.
• When turning on the power, pay attention to the volume. A sudden, very loud sound when the power is turned on may be harmful to hearing. Be sure to adjust the volume before turning off the device.
• Do not place drinks in the immediate vicinity of the audio system. If they fall, this may cause a system malfunction.
• If the product malfunctions, contact your point of sale or after-sales service.
• If the audio system is placed in an electromagnetic environment, it may cause interference.
• Avoid contact between caustic solutions (cosmetic oils, perfume, etc.) and the instrument panel. This may damage it or cause discoloration.
