Important precautions for mobile transceiver operation

 The use of protective tape or covering is recommended to protect the wiring and the
power cord inside the vehicle. If precautions are not taken, the power cord may rub
against sheet metal causing the wires beneath the cable sheathing to become exposed
resulting in fire or equipment failure.
 Install the antenna and co-axial cable, which radiate radio waves, away from the
control unit and wiring harness.
 When installing the unit inside a vehicle, position the transceiver, antenna, and co-axial
cable at least 20 cm away from the following equipment:
● Engine related:
● Transmission-related: Electronic control transmission and 4WD control unit
● Others:
 When installing the transceiver or a separately sold product, place all cables so they
do not entangle or impede the driver or passengers.
 When installing the transceiver or a separately sold product, never install in a location
where it may pose a danger to the passengers, where it may interfere with driving, or
obstruct the driver field of view.
Failing to take precautions accordingly may result in a vehicle accident.
 When installing the transceiver or a separately sold product in a vehicle with air bags,
avoid installing it in a way that it may interfere with proper operation of the air bags.
 After installing the transceiver in the vehicle, check that, for example, the brake lamp,
head lamp, turning indicator lights, and wipers are functioning properly while the
transceiver power is switched on.
 When using the transceiver, if it appears to have abnormal effects on the control
equipment of the vehicle, stop the engine, turn off the power supply, and disconnect
the power cord.
 Keep full attention on driving and refrain from operating the transceiver controls or
looking at the transceiver while driving.
Always stop the vehicle at a safe location before operating the transceiver controls or
looking at the display.
 Do not drive the car in such a way that external sounds required for safe driving cannot
be heard. Most areas and states prohibit the use of earphones and headphones while
driving.
 When using the transceiver in an electric or hybrid vehicle, noise from the inverter built
into the electric or hybrid vehicle may cause interference to reception.
