Much
has been discussed, advertised and promoted regarding the compatibility
between installation systems (mounting hardware) for mobile communications
equipment and the "airbag deployment zones" in automobiles.
Although many hardware manufacturers promote their products as
being "airbag friendly" or "airbag compatible"
the ultimate responsibility lies with the installer and/or end-user.
Any combination of installation hardware and mobile communication
equipment that is not installed and positioned properly within
the suggested dimensional parameters as defined by the vehicle
manufacturer could potentially interfere with the deployment of
the airbag(s). As a hardware manufacturer, Interactive Products
Corporation can make suggestions and recommendations for the correct
positioning and installation of our mounting systems. However,
Interactive Products Corporation cannot control the ultimate placement
and/or quality of the installation; nor can we control the type,
size, style or placement of mobile communication equipment which
the end-user chooses to mount onto, or with our products.
Manufacturers of public safety and law enforcement automobiles
have provided, over the past few years, detailed information regarding
the "airbag deployment zone(s)" in their specific vehicles.
In printed material and via videotapes, car manufacturers have
outlined and illustrated the area within each vehicle that is
considered a safe zone for installing mobile communications equipment.
Note: Although airbag templates are available to assist in positioning
equipment, they may not give you an exact image of the actual
"deployment zone" of a rapidly inflating airbag. We
strongly suggest you supplement the use of templates with the
information provided by the vehicle manufacturer for a more accurate
representation of available installation space.
~~~
WARNING ~~~
Do
not install the mount system or position the equipment in the
deployment path of an airbag. In the event of airbag deployment,
mounting systems and/or equipment located within the airbag deployment
zones can damage the airbag, prevent proper airbag inflation and/or
become projectiles which could potentially cause personal injury
or death. To determine airbag deployment zones and the area recommended
for equipment installation, refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual.
Interactive Products Corporation makes no warranties except for
intended use and will not be held liable or responsible for any
loss or damage, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special
or consequential arising from the sale, use or misuse of Interactive
Products Corporation products or the user's inability to use such
products.
