customer, user or nominated representative and relevant documentation handed over.
6.1. General
In the case of a PBR installation the customer may be instructed on the correct procedures to be used

monitor the channel before passing a message.
6.2. Safety instructions
The user should be made aware of the provisions of the Highway Code and in particular the legal
requirements of Road Traffic Construction and Use Regulation 110 that prohibits the use of mobile
phones and other hand-held microphones by a driver while driving except in the case of a ‘two-way radio’,
which is defined more precisely in Regulation 110.
The customer should be instructed to operate the equipment with caution until satisfied with its operation
in the vehicle and that there are no issues with the installation.
The end user should be encouraged to only use the equipment when it is safe to do so.
Where antennas, especially those connected to high power equipment, have been fitted to a vehicle the
customer and end users should be informed not to touch the antenna when the equipment is switched on.
6.3. Handing over
Along with the vehicle and keys all documents associated with the installation and conformity of the
equipment should be handed over to the customer together with any special instructions to do with the
installation. The customer should sign to state that the installation is satisfactory.
