Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed
control systems, air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the radio, or install the radio in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty that may apply to the radio. Check regularly that all radio
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or
carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the radio, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles
equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do
not place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.
Using the radio in an aircraft or at an airport may be prohibited. Follow any
restrictions. Wireless phones can cause interference in an aircraft. Airport
professionals using wireless phones should follow the special guidance and
instructions issued by their own organization.
