Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity
Trade Name: SONY
Model: YY2976
Responsible Party: Sony Electronics Inc.
Address: 16535 Via Esprillo, San Diego, CA
92127 U.S.A.
Telephone Number: 858-942-2230
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
This unit 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
unit generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this unit does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the unit
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 unit
and receiver.
• Connect the unit 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.
This unit must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
For customers in Canada
This unit contains licence-exempt
transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with
Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada’s licence-exempt
RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This unit may not cause interference; and
(2) This unit must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the unit.
This unit complies with FCC/ISED radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules as this unit
has very low levels of RF energy.
This conformity statement is only applicable to
the YY2976.
The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices. There is no
proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy
(RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level
RF that does not produce heating effects causes
no known adverse health effects. Many studies
of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. The unit has been tested
and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
This conformity statement is only applicable to
the YY2979.
High volume may adversely affect your hearing.
Do not use the unit while walking, driving, or
cycling. Doing so may cause traffic accidents.
Do not use in hazardous areas unless the
surrounding sound can be heard.
The unit is not waterproof. If water or foreign
matter enters the unit, it may result in fire or
electric shock. If water or foreign matter enters
the unit, stop use immediately and consult your
nearest Sony dealer. In particular, be careful in
the following cases.
• When using the unit near a sink or liquid
container
Be careful that the unit does not fall into a sink
or container filled with water.
• When using the unit in the rain or snow, or in
humid locations
• When using the unit while you are perspiring
If you touch the unit with wet hands, or put the
unit in the pocket of a damp article of clothing,
the unit may get wet.
For details on the effects of contact with the
human body from the mobile phone or other
wireless devices connected to the unit, refer to
the instruction manual of the wireless device.
Never insert the USB plug when the unit or
charging cable is wet. If the USB plug is inserted
while the unit or charging cable is wet, a short
circuit may occur due to liquid (tap water,
seawater, soft drink, etc.) or foreign matter on
the unit or charging cable, and cause abnormal
heat generation or malfunction.
This product has magnet(s) which may interfere
with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for
hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical
devices. Do not place this product close to
persons who use such medical devices. Consult
your doctor before using this product if you use
any such medical device.
There is a danger that small parts may be
swallowed. After use, store in a location out of
reach of small children.
Note about static electricity
If you use the unit when the air is dry, you may
experience discomfort due to static electricity
accumulated on your body. This is not a
malfunction of the unit. You can reduce the
effect by wearing clothes made of natural
materials that do not easily generate static
electricity.
