For your safety 11
Electromagnetic compatibility in European vehicles
In the European Community, radio equipment fitted to auto-
motive vehicles is regulated by Directive 72/245/EEC, as last
amended by 2005/83/EC. The requirements of this directive
cover the electromagnetic compatibility of electrical or elec-
tronic equipment fitted to automotive vehicles.
Interference with electronic devices
Some electronic devices may be prone to malfunction due to
the lack of protection from RF energy that is present when
your radio is transmitting.
Examples of electronic devices that may be affected by RF
energy are:
■ vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection, anti-
skid brakes, and cruise control
■ medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers
■ medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of the equip-
ment to determine whether these electronic circuits will
perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
Frequency band reserved for distress beacons
Frequency band 406 to 406.1 MHz is reserved for use by
distress beacons. Transmissions should not be made within
this frequency band.
