ATTENTION
hospitals or health care facilities (Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Medical
Devices) may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
•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.
Avoid Burns
Antennas
•Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed
terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery)
and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any
battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with
metal objects
Protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's
speaker directly against your ear
• Use careful with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss
Note:
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may
temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the
less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from
loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
