Electromagnetic Compatibility
When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Compati-
bility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please note that only screened cable
(maximum 10ft) should be used with this appliance.
For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 ft. from sources of high-
frequency and magnetic interference (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile
telephones etc.).This will help to avoid malfunctions and loss of data.
Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during operation.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other devices operated in close
proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimised for electromagnetic compliance in our
laboratories, interference during operation may still occur in the device itself and
with other devices in its proximity.
Should such interference occur, try to eliminate it by adjusting the positions of and
the distances between the devices.
Before driving, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working
properly.
Connection
When connecting your appliance it is important to observe the following instructions:
Power supply through Car Adapter
The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter socket of a car
(car battery = DC 12V
, truck battery = DC 24V
). If you are in any doubt about
the power source in your car, please contact your car manufacturer.
Cabling
Arrange cables so that they do not cause unnecessary obstruction or risk entangle-
ment or snaring. E.g. ensure that the cables cannot be trod on, or tripped over.
Do not put any objects on the cable, because it could be damaged if you do so.
Do not use any force and pay attention to the correct orientation of the plug when
connecting the cables and plugs.
Do not permit any great forces to be exerted on the plug connections, from the
side, for example. This will lead to damage in and to your device if you do so.
Avoid short circuiting and broken cable by not crushing or bending it sharply.
