INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•
Do not install the radio near an airbag or in an area where an airbag may deploy. If an
airbag is obstructed by the radio, it may not deploy as expected. It could also propel the
radio with enough force to cause serious injury.
•
Avoid touching the heat sink at the rear of the radio while the radio is in use. The heat sink
can become hot during prolonged use.
•
Do not install the radio in front of a vehicle heater. The radio requires a cool airflow over the
rear heat sink when transmitting to maintain efficiency.
•
Do not make unapproved modifications to the radio. Such modifications could void the
warranty and cause the radio to operate outside its approved specifications.
