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 radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with:
■
the deployment of passenger airbags
■
the vehicle operator controls
■
the vehicle operator’s view
■
Do not mount the radio vertically, with the control head 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.

ing at the selected points will not damage existing wiring, fuel
tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables.
