Installing two-way radios and mobile
phones (RF transmitters)
G WARNIN G
The electromagneti c radiation from two-way
radios can interfere wit h th e vehicl e electron -
ics if two-way radios are manipulated or ret -
rofitte d incorrectly. This could jeopardiz e th e
operating safet y of th e vehicle. Ther e is a ris k
of an accident.
You should hav e all wor k on electrical and
electronic component s carried out at a quali-
fie d specialist workshop.
G WARNIN G
If you incorrectl y operate two-way radios in
th e vehicle, th e electromagneti c radiation
may interfere wit h th e vehicl e electronics , for
exampl e if:R
th e two-way radi o is no t connecte d to an
exterio r antennaR
th e exterio r antenna is no t correctl y moun -
te d or is no t low-reflection
This could jeopardiz e th e operating safet y of
th e vehicle. Ther e is a ris k of an accident.
Hav e th e low-reflection exterio r antenna
installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Always connec t two-way radios to th e low-
reflection exterio r antenna when operating in
th e vehicle.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
th e instruction s for installation and use of
two-way radios are no t observed. In particular, th e followin g condition s must be
complied with: R
only approve d wavebands may be used R
observ e th e maximum permissible output
in these wavebands R
only approve d antenna position s may be
used
Excessiv e levels of electromagneti c radiation
may caus e damag e to your healt h and th e healt h
of others. Using an exterio r antenna takes int o
accoun t curren t scientific discussion s relating
to th e possible healt h hazards that may result
from electromagneti c fields.
The fo llowin g a
ntenna position s may be used for
th e correc t installation of two-way radios:
Approved antenna position s
C
Rear roo f area D
Rear fender
i On th e rear fenders, it is recommended to
position th e antenna on th e side of th e vehicl e
closes t to th e center of th e road .
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 2160 9
(Road Vehicles – "EM C guidelines for installa-
tion of aftermarket radi o frequency transmitting
equipment") when installin g wireless devices.
Observ e th e legal requirements for accessory
parts.
If your vehicl e has installation s for two-way radi o
equipment, use th e power suppl y or antenna
connection s intended for use wit h th e basic wir-
ing . Be sur e to observ e th e manufacturer' s Sup -
plemen t when installing.
Deviation s wit h respec t to frequency bands,
maximum transmission output s or antenna
position s must be approve d by Mercedes-Benz.Vehicle electronics 381
Technical data Z
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at the
base of the antenna must not exceed the fol-
lowing values:
Frequency band Maximum
transmission
output
Short wave
3 - 54 MHz 100 W
4 m waveband
74 - 88 MHz 30 W
2 m waveband
144 - 174 MHz 50 W
Trunked radio system/
Tetra
380 - 460 MHz 10 W
70 cm waveband
400 - 460 MHz 35 W
Mobile communications
(2G/3G/4G) 10 W
The following can be used in the vehicle without
restrictions: R
Two-way radios with a maximum transmission
output of up to 100 mW R
Two-way radios with transmitter frequencies
in the 380 - 410 MHz waveband and a maxi-
mum transmission output of up to 2 W
(trunked radio/Tetra) R
Mobile phones (2G/3G/4G)
There are no restrictions when positioning the
antenna on the outside of the vehicle for the
following wavebands: R
Trunked radio system/Tetra R
70 cm waveband R
