Mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB)
3
The Opel installation instructions and
the operating guidelines provided by the
telephone manufacturer must be observed
when fitting and operating a mobile
telephone. Failure to do so could invalidate
the vehicle’s operating permit
(EU Directive 95/54/EC).
Recommended prerequisites for fault-free
operation:
zProfessionally installed exterior antenna
to obtain the maximum range possible
zMaximum transmission power 10 Watt,
zInstallation of the telephone in a suitable
spot (see information 360).
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 that you consult your Opel
Service Partner, which stocks accessories,
brackets and various mounting kits and will
install 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 avoid using the phone while driving.
Even the use of the handsfree attachment
could be a distraction from the traffic
situation. Be sure to follow the laws of the
country in which you are driving.
9 Warning
Operate radio equipment and mobile
telephones which fail to meet current
mobile telephone standards only using
an antenna located outside of the
vehicle.
Caution
Mobile phones and radio equipment
may cause malfunctions in the vehicle
electronics if they are operated in the
vehicle without the external antenna
unless the above-mentioned regulations
are complied with.
