WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from two-
way radios can interfere with the vehicle
electronics if they are manipulated or
retrofitted incorrectly. This could jeop-
ardise the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have all work on electrical
and electronic components carried out at
a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING
If you operate two-way radios incorrectly
in the vehicle, their electromagnetic
radiation can interfere with the vehicle
electronics, for example if:
R
the two-way radio is not connected to
an exterior aerial
R
the exterior aerial is not correctly
mounted or is not low-reflection
This could jeopardise the operating
safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial
fitted at a qualified specialist workshop.
When operating two-way radios in the
vehicle, always connect them to the low-
reflection exterior aerial.
!
Have the engine electronics and associ-
ated parts, such as control units, sensors,
actuating components or electric cables
serviced only at a qualified specialist
workshop. Vehicle components may oth-
erwise wear more quickly and the vehi-
cle's operating permit may be invalida-
ted.
!
The operating permit may be invalida-
ted if the instructions for installation
and use of two-way radios are not
observed.
In particular, the following requirements
must be complied with:
R
only approved wavebands may be used
R
observe the maximum permissible out-
put in these wavebands
R
only approved aerial positions may be
used
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radia-
tion can cause damage to health. The use of
an exterior aerial takes into consideration
the scientific discussion surrounding the
possible health risk posed by electromag-
netic fields.
The following aerial positions may be used
for the correct installation of two-way
radios:
:
Front roof area
;
Rear roof area
i
On vehicles with a folding top, fitting
an aerial to the front roof area is not per-
mitted.
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines for
installation of aftermarket radio frequency
transmitting equipment") when retrofitting
two-way radios. Comply with the legal
requirements for add-on parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way
radio equipment, use the power supply and
aerial connections intended for use in the
basic wiring. Be sure to observe the manu-
facturer's additional instructions during
installation.
