Only operate this equipment when the vehicle
is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating mobile communication
equipment.
Please remember, a navigation system does
not supply information on the load-bearing
capacity of bridges or the overhead clearance
of underpasses. The driver remains responsi-
ble for safety at all times.
You and others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By
using an exterior antenna, a possible health
risk caused by electromagnetic fields, as dis-
cussed in scientific circles, is taken into
account. Only have the exterior antenna
installed by a qualified specialist workshop.
You will find information on retrofitting elec-
trical or electronic equipment in the “Vehicle
electronics” section (Y page 318).Installation for PND mobile navigation
devices

Additional communications equipmentStowing and features
magnetic compatibility must be checked and
verified.
If these devices are linked to functions asso-
ciated with resistance to interference, they
must have type approval. This applies to the
device or its interfaces to the vehicle elec-
tronics, e.g. charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed
in the vehicle must be approved. Further
information can be obtained from any
Sprinter Dealer.
For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, we recommend connection to an
approved exterior antenna. This is the only
way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual
interference between the vehicle electronics,
mobile phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone
or two-way radio may not exceed the follow-
ing maximum transmission output (PEAK): Frequency range Maximum trans-
mission output
