Radio reception
Ca r radio reception differs from domestic
radio reception:
As the vehicle a ntenna is relatively near
the ground, the broadcasting companies
cannot guarantee the same quality of
reception as obtained w ith a domestic
radio using an overhead antenna.
z Changes in distance from the
transmitter,
z Multi-path reception due to reflection
and
z Shadowing
may cause static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception altogether.

The Opel installation instructions and
the opera ting guid elines provided by the
telep hone ma nufacturer must be ob se rved
when fitting and opera ting a mobile
telephone. Failure to do so could invalidate
the vehicle’s operating permit (EU Directive
95/54/EG).
Prerequisites for fault-free operation:
z Professionally insta lled exterior antenna
to obtain the maximum range possib le,
z Maximum transm ission power 10 Watts,
z Installation of the telephone in a suitable
spot (see information on page 49).
Obtain advice on predetermined
installation loc ations for the external
antenna and equipment holder and ways
of using devices w ith transmission power of
more than 10 Watts.
Operation of a handsfree attachment with
no outside antenna, using the mobile
telephone standards GSM 900/1800/1900
and U MTS, m ay take place only if the
ma ximum transmission power of the
mobile telephone does not exceed 2 W, in
the case of GSM 900, and otherwise 1 W.
The op eratin g instructions of the
manufacturer of the telephone and
handsfree attachment must be noted in all
cases.
For reasons of safety, we recommend that
you do not use the phone while driving.
Even use of a hands-free set can be a
distraction while driving. Be sure to observe
any country-specific regulations.
