Appendix
uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with approved
accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Antenna Care—Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modications, or attachments could damage the radio and
may violate FCC regulations. Do Not use any radio that has a
damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin,
a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices—Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers—The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
(HIMA) recommends that a minimum separation of six inches
(6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not carry
the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference, and should turn the radio
off immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
Hearing Aids—Some digital wireless radios may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to
consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices—If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Posted Facilities—Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Commercial Aircraft—Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of
FRS/GMRS radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding
an aircraft or check the airline rules.
Blasting Areas—To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
