Safety notes G
Ris
kofa ccident
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate communications
equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you
may only operate such equipment when road
and traffic conditions permit. You may other-
wise be distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an acciden tand injure yoursel fand oth-
ers.
Two-way radios or fax machines withou tlow-
reflection exterior aerials may interfere with
the vehicle electronics and thereby compro-
mise the operational safety of the vehicle and
your safety. Therefore, only use these if they
are properly connected to a separate, low-
reflection exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may con-
stitute a health hazard to yourself and others.
Use of an exterior aerial gives consideration
to the current scientific discussion surround-
ing the possible health risk posed by electro-
magnetic fields.
