site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to
conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment
used in or around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensitive to
external RF energy or if any procedures need to be followed to
eliminate or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio
transmitter and the equipment or device.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio
In any fac i l i ty where posted not i ces instruct you t o do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic
control modules, for example, ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the radio should be
installed only by an experienced installer and that the following precautions be used when
installing the radio:
1. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or other technical bulletins for
recommendations on radio installation.
2. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the electronic control
modules and their harnesses in the vehicle.
3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far away as
possible from the electronic control units and associated wiring.
