The OnStar unit has systems that operate on a radio frequency that complies
with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and with
Industry Canada Standards RSS-210/220/310. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1. The device may not cause interference.
2. The device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to any of these systems by any other facility than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment.

Payment Lapse and
System Deactivation
An active OnStar subscription is
required for all services to work,
including Hands-Free Calling. If
you do not arrange for payment
at a time when a payment is due,
the system may be deactivated
by OnStar and you will not receive
OnStar Automatic Crash Response,
Emergency Services or any of the
other services included in your
subscription.
Radio-Frequency
Interference
The OnStar system is a radio
communications system. The
proximity to other radio signals,
emitted by other electrical
devices, may adversely affect the
performance of the OnStar system
and void the system's ability to
operate it.
Vehicle and Power Issues
OnStar services require a vehicle electrical system, wireless service and GPS
satellite technologies to be available and operating for features to function
properly. These systems may not operate if the battery is discharged or
disconnected. If there is a technical problem with your OnStar mirror, the Alert
icon will flash slowly. If your OnStar device is not activated and in demo mode,
the Alert icon will be steady and on until the device is activated.
Add-On Electrical Equipment
The OnStar system is connected to the electrical architecture of the vehicle. Do
not add any electrical equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data
recorders, etc.) unless you check with your Retailer/Installer first. Added electrical
equipment may interfere with the operation of the OnStar system and void your
ability to operate it.
Backup Battery
The backup battery is a rechargeable battery that will allow the OnStar unit to
make an emergency call to OnStar in the unlikely event of vehicle power loss
during a collision. While under backup battery power, audio will be unavailable.
Over time, the battery may need to be replaced. OnStar will indicate this to you
by illuminating the telltale LED red and also the "Alert" icon. If this occurs, press
the blue OnStar button and an OnStar Advisor will diagnose the problem and
assist you with identifying a battery replacement location if needed.
A Note About Privacy
At OnStar, we take subscriber privacy very seriously. The complete OnStar
Privacy Statement may be found at www.onstar.com. Privacy-sensitive users of
wireless communications are cautioned that the privacy of any information
sent via wireless cellular communications cannot be assured. Third parties
may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions and private communications
