WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from modified
or incorrectly retrofitted RF-transmitters can
interfere with the vehicle electronics. This can
compromise the operational safety of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
You should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from incor-
rectly operated RF transmitters can interfere
with the vehicle electronics, for example:
if the RF transmitter is not connected with
R
an exterior antenna
the exterior antenna has been installed
R
incorrectly or is not a low-reflection type
This can compromise the operational safety
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior antenna
mounted at a qualified specialist workshop.
When operating RF transmitters in the vehi-
cle, always connect them with the low-reflec-
tion exterior antenna.
!
The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed.
Vehicle electronics
In particular, the following conditions must be
complied with:
only approved wavebands may be used.
R
observe the maximum permissible output
R
in these wavebands.
only approved antenna positions may be
R
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior antenna takes into
account current scientific discussions relating
to the possible health hazards that may result
from electromagnetic fields.
Approved antenna positions (example:
Mercedes‑Maybach)
Front roof area
:
Rear roof area
;
Rear fender
=
Trunk lid
?
On vehicles with panorama roof with power tilt/
sliding panel, installing an antenna to the front
or rear roof area is not permitted.
On the rear fenders, it is recommended to posi-
tion the antenna on the side of the vehicle clos-
est to the center of the road.
Use the Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
when retrofitting RF transmitters (Road Vehicles
- EMC guidelines for installation of aftermarket
radio frequency transmitting equipment).
Observe the legal requirements for accessory
parts.
If your vehicle has installations for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or antenna
connections intended for use with the basic wir-
ing. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's Sup-
plement when installing.
Deviations with respect to frequency bands,
maximum transmission outputs or antenna
positions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
