batteries.
Safety and General Information
When used in the transmitting mode, even though the broadcast power is relatively low, you should take these additional
precautions:
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.
Medical Devices - Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 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 6 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.
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 RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
