Retrofitting electrical or electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can
jeopardize the operational safety of the
vehicle. If equipment of this kind is retrofitted,
it must be type-approved and bear the e
mark. The e mark may be obtained from the
equipment manufacturer or an authorized
testing center.
! Damage or consequential damage arising
from installing equipment that is not
approved for Sprinters is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If you wish to install telephones or two-way
radios in the vehicle, you must obtain formal
approval.
For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, We recommend connection to an
approved exterior antenna. This is the only
way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual
interference between the vehicle electronics,
mobile phones and two-way radios.
G
Warning
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
constitute a health hazard to yourself and
others. Use of an exterior antenna gives
consideration to scientific discussion
surrounding the possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
The exterior antenna should only be installed
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. We
recommend that you use an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for this purpose. In particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
