Cellular Phones, Two-Way Radio Without Separate Exterior Antenna






Cellular Phones, Two-Way Radio Without Separate Exterior Antenna

Remote controls (such as for garage door openers) and wireless devices (such as a keyboard or PC mouse) may only be operated in the vehicle if the transmission power of the device is a maximum of 100 mW.

Always follow the information in the Operating Instructions that come with the cell phone, two-way radio and antenna, including the installation instructions.

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 systems such as 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.
