To avoid electromagnetic interference and/
or compatibility conflicts
•
Turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so, hospitals or health
care facilities (Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids and
Other Medical Devices)
may be using equip-
ment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
•
Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft.
Any use of a radio must be in accordance
with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.
Note:
- Pacemakers
Defibrillators or other Implanted Medical
Devices Persons with pacemakers, Implantable
Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) or
other active
implantable medical devices
(AIMD) should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from
their pacemaker when the radio is turned on.
•
Consult with their physicians regarding the
potential risk of interference from radio
frequency transmitters, such as portable
radios (poorly
shielded medical devices may
be more susceptible
to interference).
•
Turn the radio OFF immediately if they have
any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
•
Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or
near the implantation site, and carry or use
the radio on the opposite side of their body
from the implantable device to minimize the
potential for interference.
(one
inch) away from the nose or lips.
The antenna should be kept away from the eyes.
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important
as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance
from the antenna.
Phone Mode
•
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your
radio product as you would a wireless telephone.
Speak directly into the microphone.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inad
equately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility.
WARNING
Avoid Burns
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Turn off your radio power in the following
conditions:
•
Turn off your radio before removing
(installing)
a battery or accessory or when charging

•
Turn off your radio when you are in a
potentially hazardous environments: Near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
in explosive atmospheres
(inflammable
gas,
dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders,
etc.).
•
Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or
while parked at gasoline service stations.
