Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to 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, such as ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the
radio should be installed only by an experienced installer and the following
precautions should 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.
When using your radio while driving, please:
