Cellular Telephone, Two-Way Radios, Notes

Cellular Phones and Portable Two-Way Radios with Separate External Antenna

Radio-based remotes (e.g. for garage door openers) and wireless peripherals (e.g. keyboard or PC mouse) may only be used in vehicle when transmission output of device has a maximum of 100 mW.

Please follow exactly the operating instructions and installation instructions of the manufacturer of mobile telephones, radio-based devices, and antennas.

The devices' optimal range will only be reached with an exterior antenna.

When telephone and two-way radio systems are installed properly there is no danger to safety system e.g. ABS or airbag. A prerequisite is however that there has been no intervention in their installations. Parallel wiring to such systems must be avoided.

Excessively high electromagnetic fields can arise if mobile telephones and radio devices, with or without an incorrectly installed exterior antenna, are used.

In such a case, damage to health and interference with vehicle electronics cannot be ruled out.

Radios/Telephones with a Transmitted Output Above 10 Watts, Prerequisites

The transmitting power at the antenna base may not exceed the applicable maximum values. See manufacturer's data

You may not use antenna locations other than those shown in the table.

For transmitting power and antenna locations, refer to => [ Transmitted Output, Possible Installation Locations ] Transmitted Output, Possible Installation Locations.
