situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic condition s and operatethe equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are driving when operating
th esystem.
General notes
Connection difficulties while the vehi-
cle is in motion
The connection may be lost if:
Rth e mobile phone network coverage is insuf-
ficient
Rth e vehicle has moved into a mobile phone
cell with no free channels
Rth eSI M card used is not compatible with the
network available
