Special service equipment Installation of mobile communication systems The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulates the use of mobile communication systems such as two-way radios, telephones and anti-theft alarms that are equipped with radio transmitters. If you install this equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules. All Ford Motor Company vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions. Mobile communication systems not designed for automotive use or not properly installed, may cause the engine to stumble, stall or affect electronically controlled transmission operation. In addition, such systems themselves may be damaged or their operation affected by the normal operating conditions of your vehicle. Citizen Band (CB) transceivers, garage door openers, and other electrical transmitters whose power output of 5 watts or less, will not ordinarily affect your vehicle's operation. Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are not designed for automotive use or are not properly installed. Ford Motor Company has no control over the installation, design or manufacture of mobile communication systems. Ford Motor Company cannot assume responsibility for any adverse effects or damages that may result if this type of equipment is used. Malfunction of aftermarket electronic equipment should be resolved by the equipment manufacturer. 7 2008 Explorer (exp) Supplement USA (fus)
