Installation in Vehicles
RF signals can have a negative impact on electronic systems in vehicles (including safety systems) if they have
not been installed correctly or shielded adequately. If you have any questions about your vehicle, please get in
touch with the manufacturer or with a sales representative. You can find out from the manufacturer if any
additional equipment has been installed in the vehicle. An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT PLACE ANY
objects, such as mounted or mobile wireless equipment in the area above the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. If the wireless equipment in the vehicle was not installed properly, serious injuries can occur when the
airbag is deployed. Position the device within reach. Make sure you have access to the device without having to
take your eyes off the road.
Safety in Traffic
Do not make any notes or use the device while driving. Creating a “to do” list or flipping through the address book
while driving interferes with safe driving.
In road traffic you must first and foremost concentrate on your own safety and that of the other road users. Give
your full attention to the road. Check the legal regulations on the use of wireless devices in road traffic in the
respective region. Always observe them. If you use a wireless device while driving, rely on your common sense
and adhere to the following:
1.
Familiarise yourself with the wireless device and its functions, such as speed dial and redial. These functions
may prove to be useful if you wish to make a call without taking your eyes off the road.
2.
Use a hands-free telephone, if possible.
3.
Inform the person you are speaking with that you are driving. If necessary, end the call if there is heavy traffic
or bad weather. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be dangerous.
4.
Dial numbers carefully and keep an eye on the traffic. Make your calls when you have stopped the car or
before you set off. Plan your calls so that you can make them when parked. If it is essential to make a call
when driving, dial only part of the number, check the road again and look in the rear mirror and then dial the
rest of the number.
5.
Do not engage in stressful and emotional telephone calls which might take your attention away from the road.
Let the other person know that you are driving a car and do not get involved in any discussions that might
divert your attention from the road.
6.
Use your mobile device to call for help if necessary. Dial emergency services (9-1-1 in the USA and 1-1-2 in
Europe) or other local emergency service numbers if there is a fire, an accident or a medical emergency.
These calls are free of charge on the wireless device! The call can be made independently of security codes
or networks and with or without a SIM card.
NOTE
Connection to an alert device that will cause a horn to sound or a light to flash on receipt of an
incoming call on public roads is not permissible.
