Exposure to radio frequency technology

BMW strongly recommends the use of a base plate with a
snap-in adapter* in your car. The use of this special equip-
ment allows the mobile phone to operate via the external
antenna, enabling the phone to decrease the output
power. This reduces electromagnetic exposure.

Bluetooth technology is a short-range radio frequency
wireless technology, where signals are transmitted
through the airways.

Please ask BMW Service for details of which mobile
phones are supported and for which mobile phones a base
plate with a snap-in adapter are available.

Otherwise mutual interferences between the vehicle’s
electronic and such equipment cannot be entirely ruled
out.

For your own safety

A car phone provides a range of services and may even be
employed to save lives. Safety instructions are contained
in the separate Owner's Manual for your mobile phone.
Please also note the following additional information:

Settings

Only adjust the settings when the vehicle is at a
standstill to avoid endangering yourself and other

road users.

Using the mobile phone in the car

Using a handheld mobile phone while driving is
dangerous and is illegal in many cities. Therefore,

use the hands-free system or park in an area where you do
not endanger yourself or traffic.

Using the mobile phone
in the vicinity of the car

To avoid distractions do not use the phone in
garages, at gasoline stations or in the vicinity of an

open engine hood.

Antenna

Ensure that no one is located within 20 in/50 cm
of the external antenna when using the telephone.

Do not use the BMW mobile phone if the antenna is dam-
aged.

Skin contact with a damaged antenna can cause minor
burns.

Have a damaged antenna replaced immediately.
