Effects of radio frequency energy
Your Radiophone is both a transmitter and
a receiver. It generates minimum amounts
of energy in the radio frequency range. While
it is in use, the GSM system keeps a con-
stant check on both the frequency and the
power.
Warnings that using mobile telephones may
be hazardous to your health have recently
been a topic of public discussion. For years
now, research on the effects of radio fre-
quency energy emitted by FM technology
has concentrated on possible adverse ef-
fects to your health. Scientists have also
begun researching the latest radio technol-
ogies such as GSM. According to the re-
search results and by complying with the
corresponding safety standards, it is safe to
say that this product can be used without
reservations.
When the Radiophone is installed properly
in your vehicle, using it is even safer than
using a portable cellular phone.
If you should still be concerned about the
effects of radio frequency energy, there is a
lot you can do personally to ensure that you
are exposed to a minimum of these radio
waves. Of course, it will help to reduce your
call time to a minimum but it is especially
important to heed the following tips on us-
ing this equipment.
Important information
Safety standards
The mobile telephone has been manufac-
tured in accordance with all of the applica-
ble RF safety standards and recommenda-
tions determined by the government offices
and organisations responsible (e.g. the VDE
standard DIN-0848).
General information
The telephone function of your Radiophone
is based on the GSM radio telephone stand-
ard. This standard was developed for use
in Europe and many other countries.
Using the mobile Radiophone, you can
make the same telephone calls as you can
with a cellular phone.
This assumes that the GSM radio network
is available at your location and that you
have access privileges and a valid SIM card.
This SIM card must be inserted into the unit
(if necessary, refer to the information in the
section on “KeyCard and SIM card”).
Safety information
Traffic safety
Traffic safety always has the highest priori-
ty. As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic
situation at all times. Never use your car
radio in a way that could distract you.
Please keep in mind that you travel a dis-
tance of 14 m per second at a speed of only
50 km/h.
Should the traffic situation become particu-
larly demanding, we advise you not to use
the radio.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from out-
side of your vehicle, such as police or fire
engine sirens, so that you can react accord-
ingly.
Consequently, you should always select a
moderate volume for playing your car radio
while you are driving.
Using the telephone while driving
Please observe all laws and regulations re-
garding the use to mobile telephones in
motor vehicles.
• Concentrate fully on your driving.
• Stop at a safe place before using the
telephone.
