Do you have a question about the car CAD-FMX500 and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

The CAD-FMX500 is an FM Transmitter Phone Mount designed to provide a versatile and convenient solution for in-car entertainment and communication. It allows users to play music from their phone, TF card, or U-disk through their car's FM radio or via an AUX connection, and also facilitates hands-free phone calls and voice assistant activation.

Important Safety Instructions:

Before using the CAD-FMX500, it is crucial to adhere to several safety guidelines to ensure proper operation and user safety. The device should be mounted in a location that does not obstruct the driver's view of the road. It should not be used near water and should only be cleaned with a dry cloth. Ventilation openings must not be blocked, and installation should follow the manufacturer's instructions. The device should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat-producing apparatus (including amplifiers). The power cord needs to be protected from being walked on or pinched, and it should not get tangled with gas or brake pedals. Only attachments and accessories specified by the manufacturer should be used. It is recommended to unplug the device during lightning storms or when it will be unused for long periods. All servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel, especially if the device has been damaged (e.g., damaged power-supply cord or plug, spilled liquid, fallen objects, exposure to rain or moisture, abnormal operation, or if it has been dropped).

FCC Compliance:

The CAD-FMX500 (FCC ID: 2AMSOSTW001) complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Users are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party for compliance could void their authority to operate the equipment. This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used according to instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the device causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, users are encouraged to try to correct the interference by reorienting or relocating the receiving antenna, increasing the separation between the equipment and receiver, connecting the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit, or consulting a dealer or experienced radio/TV technician. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) the device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) it must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
