defibrillators (ICDs) or other active implantable medical devices 
(AIMD) must:

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 there is 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.

potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire 
resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note:

The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred 

to above include fueling areas such as below decks on 
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas 
where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as 
grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where 
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle 
engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are 
often – but not always posted.

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 radios”. Obey 
all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna.

 

If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a 
minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury 
such as burns if a conductive material touches exposed 
terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical 
circuit (short circuit) and become hot. 

Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do 
not use sharp or conductive tools to remove these 
batteries.

Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container
