Transmitted Output, Antenna Installation Locations

Designation Pmax/Watt Prescribed antenna installation locations
Shortwave less than 54 MHz 100 (PEAK), refer to (1). All locations on the roof
4 m-Band 20 (eff.), refer to (2). all locations on vehicle exterior
2 m-Band 20 (eff.) Front fender Roof center front Roof center Roof center rear
2 m-Band 50 (eff.) Center of roof Rear center of roof
70 cm 50 (eff.) Front center of roof Center of roof Rear center of roof
23 cm 20 (eff.) all locations on vehicle exterior
TETRA/ TETRAPOL 25 (eff.) all locations on vehicle exterior
D-net GSM 900 20 (PEAK) all locations on vehicle exterior
E-net GSM 1800 GSM 1900 UMTS 10 (PEAK) all locations on vehicle exterior
(1) PEAK = max. carrier power (Peak Envelope Power)
(2) eff. = effective transmission output
NOTE:

Deviations from these guidelines (location of antenna, frequency, output) are only permitted in special isolated cases after a single-case test carried out by the EMV center of VWAG in Wolfsburg.

EMV = electromagnetic compatibility
