Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic
interference and/or compatibility conflicts, switch off your radio in
any location where posted notices instruct you to do so, such as
health care facilities.
Use In Aircraft
When instructed to do so, switch OFFyour radio on board an
aircraft.
Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations and aircrew instructions.
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that
a minimum separation of 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 15 cm from their pacemaker
when the radio is switched ON.
Do 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 there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some radios may interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, please consult your hearing aid manufacturer or
supplier to discuss alternatives.
