Retevis MA1 - Electromagnetic Interference;Compatibility

While wired earpieces may conduct some energy to the head and wireless earpieces also emit
a small amount of RF energy, both wired and wireless earpieces remove the greatest source of
RF energy (handheld device) from proximity to the head and thus can greatly reduce total
exposure to the head.
•Increase the distance between wireless devices and your body.
•This radio is designed for and classied as “Occupational/Controlled Use Only”.
Occupational/Controlled environments are dened as locations where there is exposure that
may be incurred by people who are aware of the potential of exposure, for example, as a
result of employment or occupation. It means a radio must be used only by individuals aware
of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; Not intended for use in a General
population/uncontrolled environment.
Electromagnetic Inteerence/Compatibility
Nearly eve electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic inteerence (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise congured for electromagnetic compatibility.
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause inteerence
with other devices or systems. To avoid such inteerence, turn o the radio in areas where
signs are posted to do so, such as hospitals or healthcare facilities.
• Persons with pacemakers, implantable cardioveer debrillators (ICDs) or other active
implantable medical devices should
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of inteerence from radio
frequency transmitters, such as poable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more
susceptible
to inteerence).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that inteerence is taking
place.
• Do not car the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and car or use the
radio on the opposite side of the body from the implantable device to minimize the potential
for inteerence. Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless radios may inteere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such inteerence, 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 RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn o your radio in the following conditions:
•Turn o your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially hazardous or explosive
atmosphere. Only radio types that are
especially qualied should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. Note: the areas with
potentially explosive atmosphere referred to above include blasting caps, blasting areas,
inammable gas, dust paicles, metallic powders, grain powders, fueling areas
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the
air contains chemicals or paicles (such as grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn o your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often – but not always posted.
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
•Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the areas where you drive.
Use of Communication Devices, for example, mobile radio, may not be allowed.
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
