Radio transmitters and business equipment
Radio transmitters
Bentley cannot accept responsibility for the installation of
equipment it has not approved.
Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters in the car require
prior approval from Bentley.
Approval will be granted provided that:
• The antenna is installed correctly, on the exterior of the car
and shielded cables are used, together with non-reflective
antenna trimming.
• The effective transmitting power does not exceed 10 Watts
at the antenna base.
Your authorised Bentley dealer will be able to inform you about
options for installing and operating radio transmitters with higher
transmitting power.
Business equipment
Retrofit installation of business or private equipment in the car is
permitted, provided the equipment cannot interfere with the
driver’s immediate control of the car.
Any such equipment must carry the CE mark.
Any retrofit equipment that could influence the driver’s control of
the car must have a type approval for the car and must carry the
e mark.
Note
Any retrofit installation of electrical or electronic equipment in the car
will affect the original car type approval. Under certain circumstances,
this could mean invalidation of the original type approval for the car.
Mobile radio transmitters
Commercial mobile telephones or radio equipment might
interfere with the electronics of the car and cause malfunctions if
no external antenna is fitted, or if the external antenna is installed
incorrectly and transmitting power above 10 Watts.
For this reason, you should always operate mobile telephones with
a properly installed external antenna. This also applies to approved
Bluetooth mobile phones, connected via the hands-free profile
(refer to ‘Hands-free profile’ on page 9-7).
The external antenna directs the electromagnetic fields to the
exterior, which reduces the field strength in the vehicle interior.
If retro-fitting an external antenna, please ensure that it is installed
correctly. For up-to-date information about installing an external
antenna, please contact an authorised Bentley dealer.
Please note also that the maximum range of the equipment can
only be achieved with an external antenna.
The most common causes of faults are:
• No external antenna.
• Incorrectly installed external antenna.
• Transmitting power in excess of 10 watts.
