1.4
Safe Radio Mounting
Warning
Mount the radio securely so that it will not break
loose in the event of a collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous
to the vehicle occupants.
■
Mount the radios and the microphones where they will not interfere
with:
■
the deployment of passenger airbags
■
the vehicle operator controls
■
the vehicle operator’s view
■
Do not mount the radios vertically, with the remote interface facing
down. This will violate compliance with the standards UL/CSA/
EN 60950, Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
1.5
Interference with Vehicular Electronics
Warning
Some vehicular electronic devices may be prone to
malfunction due to the lack of protection from RF energy when
your radio is transmitting.
Examples of vehicular electronic devices that may be affected by RF
energy are:
■
electronic fuel injection systems
■
electronic anti-skid braking systems
■
electronic cruise control systems
■
indicators
If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the vehicle manufacturer or
dealer to determine whether these electronic circuits will perform normally
when the radio is transmitting.
1.6
Radio protection when charging the vehicle
battery
Always remove the fuses from the radio power cable before charging the
vehicle battery, connecting a second battery, or using power from another
vehicle (e.g. when jump-starting the vehicle).
1.7
Preparation when Drilling Holes
Warning
When drilling holes in the vehicle, check that drill-
ing at the selected points will not damage existing wiring, fuel
tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables.
