powders, grain powders, etc.).
•Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline
service stations.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts
•Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct
you to do so, 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.
Note:
Pacemakers
Defibrillators or other Implanted Medical Devices Persons with
pacemakers, Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) or
other active implantable medical devices (AIMD) should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cm from their pacemaker
when the radio is turned on.
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of
interference from radio frequency transmitters, such as portable
radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible
to interference).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if they have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation
site, and carry or use the radio on the opposite side of their body
from the implantable device to minimize the potential for
interference.
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.
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.
