THIS PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH DHHS RULES 21CFR SUBCHAPTER J IN EFFECT AT DATE OF MANUFACTURE.
Location : Top plate
FCC WARNING This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.
FCC NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications, if it is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver. · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For KW-V41BT Region 1/KW-V21BT Region 1:
IC (Industry Canada) Notice This device complies with Industry Canada licenseexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. The term “IC: ” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specification were met.
CAUTION This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles). Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. · Contains Transmitter Module
FCC ID : XQN-BTR60X · Contains Transmitter Module
IC: 9688A-BTR601
Cautions on the monitor:
· The monitor built into this unit has been
produced with high precision, but it may have
some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not
considered defective.
· Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.
Do not operate the touch panel using a ball-point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip. Touch the buttons on the touch panel with your finger directly (if you are wearing a glove, take it off).
· When the temperature is very cold or very hot… Chemical changes occur inside, causing malfunction. Pictures may not appear clearly or may move slowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with the sound or picture quality may decline in such environments.
Fors afety… · Do not raise the volume level too much, as this
will make driving dangerous by blocking outside sounds, and may cause hearing loss. · Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.
Temperature inside the car… If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.
