Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the
country in which you are currently driving
regarding operating mobile communica-
tions equipment in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate commu-
nications equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so when the traffic
situation allows. Otherwise, you could be
distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an accident and injure yourself and
others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used
without low-reflection exterior aerials can
interfere with the vehicle's electronics and,
thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you
must only use this equipment if it is cor-
rectly connected to a separate, reflection-
free, exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions Cont
