Mobile phones and two-way radio systems The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should
be carried out by a specialist garage. ŠKOSA permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a
professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up
to 10 watts.
It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilities to assem-
ble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power out-
put of more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for
retrofitting mobile phones.
When using a mobile phone inside the vehicle, which is not inserted into the
phone adapter, and thus has no connection to the external aerial, the electromag-
netic radiation can exceed the current limit value. If a suitable adapter is available £ 115
