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 the following
precautions should be used when installing the radio:
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or other technical bulletins for
recommendations on radio installation.
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.
