Warning!! RF exposure hazard
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits:
VHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted centrally on the
vehicle roof, with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.
UHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted either centrally
on the roof with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.65dBi, or centrally mounted on
the trunk with a gain of 5.65dBi.
This antenna must not be mounted at a location such that any person or
persons can come closer than 35 inches (0.9m) to the antenna.
Warning!! Safe radio mounting
Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in the event of a
collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous to the vehicle occupants.
Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with
the vehicle operator controls.
Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with
the vehicle operator's view.
Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with
air bag deployment.
Warning!! Interference with vehicular electronics
Some vehicular electronic devices may be prone to malfunction, due to the
lack of protection from RF energy present when your radio is transmitting.
Examples of vehicular electronic devices that may be affected by RF energy
are:
electronic fuel injection systems
electronic anti-skid braking systems
electronic cruise control systems.
If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the vehicle manufacturer or
dealer in order to determine whether these electronic circuits will perform
normally when the radio is transmitting.
