WARNING Risk of accident caused by
ta mp ering with the RF transmit ter
The electromagnetic radiation from RF trans‐
mitters may inter fere with theve hicle elec‐
tronics if RF transmitters are tamp ered with
or not cor rectly retrofitted.
This could jeopa rdise the operating saf ety of
th eve hicle. #
You should ha veall workon electrical
and electronic components car ried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of accident from incor‐
re ct ope ration of the RF transmit ter
If yo u operate RF transmit ters incor rectly in
th eve hicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could inter fere with the on-board electronics,
e.g.:
R ifth e RF transmit ter is not connected to
an exterior aerial
R ifth eex terior aerial is not cor rectly
mounted or is not of low reflection
This could jeopardise the operating saf ety of
th eve hicle. #
Have the lo w-reflection exterior aerial
fi tted at a qualified specialist workshop. #
When operating RF transmitters in the
ve hicle, alw ays connect them tothe
