General Information (cont.)

Because this radio contains a transmitter, federal law prohibits unauthorized,

non-licensed personnel from adjusting or maintaining it. If any operational
difficulties should arise while using this product, report them to authorized service
personnel as soon as possible.

• Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by a

professional installer/technician qualified in the requirements for such
installations. An air bag’s size, shape and deployment area can vary by
vehicle make, model and front compartment configuration (e.g., bench
seat vs. bucket seats).

• Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate headquarters, if necessary,

for specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model and front
compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment
installation.

Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio or accessories.

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
communication equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
