malfunction due to the lack of protection from RF energy when
your radio is transmitting.
Examples of vehicular electronic devices that may be affected by RF
energy are:
■
electronic fuel injection systems
■
electronic anti-skid braking systems
■
electronic cruise control systems
■
indicators.
If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the vehicle manufacturer or
dealer to determine whether these electronic circuits will perform normally
when the radio is transmitting.
Preparation when Drilling Holes

When drilling holes in the vehicle, check that drill-
ing at the selected points will not damage existing wiring, fuel
tanks, fuel lines, brake pipes, or battery cables.
