The Opel installation instructions and the

Recommended prerequisites for fault-free
operation:
z Professionally installed exterior antenna
to obtain the maximum range possible.
z Maximum transmission power 10 Watt.
z Installation of the te lephone in a suitable
spot (see information 377).
Seek advice on predetermined installation
points for the external antenna or
equipment holder and ways of using
devices with a transmission power
exceeding 10 watts.
We recommend you contact your Opel
Service Partner who will have brackets and
various different accessory kits available
and can fit them correctly. Use of a handsfree attachment without
external antenna with mobile telephone
standards GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS
is only permitted if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile
telephone is 2 watts for GSM 900 or 1 watt
for the other types.
For reasons of safety, we recommend that
you do not use the phone while driving.
Even use of a handsfree set can be a
distraction while
driving. Be sure to observe
any country-specific regulations.
