WARNING
The electromagneticradiation from two-way
radios can interfere withthe vehicleelec-
tronics if two-way radios are manipulated or
retrofittedincorrectly. This could jeopardize
theoperating safetyofthe vehicle. Thereis
ariskofanaccident.
You should haveall workonelectrical and
electronic componentscarried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING
If you incorrectlyoperate two-way radios in
thevehicle, theelectromagneticradiation
may interfere withthe vehicleelectronics,
for exampleif:
R
thetwo-way radioisnot connectedtoan
exteriorantenna
R
theexteriorantenna is notcorrectly
mountedorisnot low-reflection
This could jeopardizethe operating safetyof
thevehicle. Thereisariskofanaccident.
Havethe low-reflection exteriorantenna
installed at aqualified specialist workshop.
Always connecttwo-way radios to thelow-
reflection exteriorantenna when operating
in thevehicle.
!
The operating permit may be invalidated if
theinstructionsfor installation and use of
two-way radios are notobserved.
In particular, thefollowingrequirements
must be complied with:
R
only approvedwavebands may be used
R
observethe maximum permissible output
in these wavebands
R
only approvedantenna positionsmay be
used
Excessivelevels of electromagneticradiation

takes intoaccountcurrentscientific discus-
sionsrelating to thepossible healthhazards
that may result from electromagneticfields.
The followingantenna positionsmay be used if

On therear fenders, it is recommended to
installthe antenna on theside of thevehicle
closesttothe center of theroad.
Use theTechnical Specification ISO/TS 21609
when retrofitting RF transmitters (Road Vehi-
