SAFETY
Portable Radio Operation and
EME Exposure
When transmitting with a portable
radio, hold the radio in a vertical
position with its microphone 2.5 to 5
centimeters (1 to 2 inches) away from your mouth.
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from
your head and body.
If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body,
ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters
(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or other-
wise conÞgured for electromagnetic com-
patibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conßicts, turn off your radio in any
facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF 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 airline regulations or crew
instructions.
Operational Warnings
Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inßate with great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inßates, the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualiÞed for use in such areas (for example, Factory
Mutual or CENELEC Approved). Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or Þre resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Batteries
Do not replace or recharge batteries in a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur
while installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.
