If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of the device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your Doctor may also be able to
help you in obtaining this information.
Use of Communication Devices While Driving
n Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the countries and
areas where you drive.
n Give your full attention to driving and to the road.
n If available, use the hands-free facility.
n If driving conditions or regulations require it, pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call.
Acoustic Safety
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.
To protect your hearing:
n Use the lowest volume setting necessary in order to do your job.
n Only turn up the volume if you are in noisy surroundings.
n Before adding a headset or earpiece to the radio, turn down the volume.
n Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
n When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s
speaker directly against your ear.
Operational Warnings
Vehicles with Air Bags
WARNING: FOR VEHICLES FITTED WITH AIR BAGS
ALWAYS REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH THE AIR BAG
WIRING.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the
air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with
great force and cause serious injury to vehicle occupants.
Explosive Atmospheres
Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations that may contain hazardous
gas, vapours or dusts.
WARNINGS
Always turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless the radio type is especially qualified for use in such areas as
“Intrinsically Safe” (e.g. Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, ATEX, IEC Approved).
