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
facility where posted notices instruct you to 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, such as, 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 installa-
tion.
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.
Driver Safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
●
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
