Warnings, Cautions and Notes

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Note

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be
necessary to conduct compatibility testing to determine if any
electronic equipment used in or around vehicles or near fixed site
antenna is sensitive to external RF energy or if any procedures
need to be followed to eliminate or mitigate the potential for
interaction between the radio transmitter and the equipment or
device.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio in any fac

t

o do so. Hospitals or

health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic
control modules, for example, ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the radio
should be installed only by an experienced installer and that the following
precautions be used when installing the radio:

1. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or other technical bulletins for

recommendations on radio installation.

2. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the electronic control modules

and their harnesses in the vehicle.

3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far away as possible

from the electronic control units and associated wiring.

Driver Safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive.
Always obey them.
