Mobile telephones or portable two-way radios may not be used in the vehicle without a separate external aerial.
Mobile telephones or portable two-way radios may not be used in the vehicle without a separate external aerial.
t  Radio remote controls (e.g. for garage door opener) and portable terminal units (e.g. keyboard or PC mouse) may be used in the vehicle only if the maximum transmitting power does not exceed 100 mW.
t  An “e identification” is required for mobile two-way radios (applies for Europe only).
t  Mobile telephones or other transmitting equipment (business equipment) which are not original vehicle equipment parts must have a “CE identification” (applies for Europe only).
t  It is absolutely necessary to observe the manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for mobile telephones, two-way radios and aerials.
t  The optimum unit range can be attained only by using an external aerial.
t  When telephone and two-way radio systems are properly installed, there is no danger to safety systems like, for example, ABS or airbags. However, it is a prerequisite that there has been no modification of their installation. Routing wiring parallel to such systems must be avoided.
t  When mobile telephones or two-way radios are used, excessive electromagnetic fields may occur in the vehicle interior whether or not the external aerial has been properly installed.
In this case, detrimental effects to health as well as malfunctions of vehicle electronics cannot be ruled out.
