Electromagnetic interference/compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility problems, turn off your
radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external radio frequency energy.
When instructed to do so, 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.
CARE AND MAINTANENCE
OPERATING PRECAUTION
Damaged antenna
Do not use a radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
your skin, it could cause a minor burn. Send your equipment to technical service for repair
before using it again.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or personal injury such as burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and heat up significantly. Exercise
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or
other container with metal objects.
OPERATING WARNING
Replacement parts
Use of replacement parts other than those recommended by the official product distributor
may violate the device certification. Use only the recommended replacement parts.
For vehicles with an air bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the field of air bag
deployment. Air bags inflate with high levels of pressure and force. If a portable phone
is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the phone may be
propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the vehicle occupants.
