Safe radio mounting
Caution: Observe the following precautions when mounting
the radio.
■ Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in
the event of a collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous
to the vehicle occupants.
■ Mount the radio where it will not interfere with the
deployment of passenger air bags.
■ Do not mount the radio vertically, with the control head
facing down. This will violate compliance with the Euro-
pean Union standard EN 60950, Safety of Information
Technology Equipment.
Interference with vehicular electronics
Caution: Some vehicular electronic devices may be prone to
malfunction, due to the lack of protection from RF
energy present when your radio is transmitting.
Examples of vehicular electronic devices that may be affected
by RF energy are:
■ electronic fuel injection systems
■ electronic anti-skid braking systems
■ electronic cruise control systems.
