Aircraft
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.
Medical Devices - Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches (15 cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations
of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches
(15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio
is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have
any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
Medical Devices - 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.
