Safety information for safety connect

 

Important! Read this information before using safety connect.

Exposure to radio frequency signals

 

The safety connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio frequency (rf) signals.

In august 1996, the federal communications commission (fcc) adopted rf exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by the following u.S. And international standards bodies.

  •  Ansi (american national standards institute) c95.1 [1992]
  •  Ncrp (national council on radiation protection and measurement) report 86 [1986]
  • Icnirp (international commission on non-ionizing radiation protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, and government health agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the ansi standard (c95.1).

The design of safety connect complies with the fcc guidelines in addition to those standards.

Conditions unfavorable to correct operation

 

The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:

  • the vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.
  • The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
  • The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersection, near a large vehicle, etc.).
  • The vehicle has become magnetized.

     

    (There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)

  • The battery has been disconnected.
  • A door is open.
Warning

 


While driving the vehicle

 

Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is stopped.

When doing the circling calibration

 

Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neighborhood.

Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.

 

Notice

 


To avoid compass malfunctions

 

Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.

Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.

To ensure normal operation of the compass

 

  • Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.
