2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch off your radio when its use is
prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the radio only in its normal operating positions.
To maintain compliance with radio frequency exposure guidelines, only use enhancements approved by Airbus
Defence and Space for use with this radio.
Using two TETRA devices in close proximity (in the same vehicle, for example) may cause them to interfere with
each other. If you experience such interference, separate the two devices until the interference stops.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy or if you have any questions.
Switch off your radio in health care facilities or near medical devices when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Active implanted medical devices (AIMD)
To avoid potential interference with persons carrying active implanted medical devices (AIMD), it is important to
follow and respect the AIMD manufacturers' safety recommendations.
In general, persons with AIMD should keep the radio at least 20 cm (7.9 in) away from the AIMD device. If you have
any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your radio immediately and contact the nearest
medical service supporting the interference AIMD.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless terminals may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. These
systems include, for example, electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the vehicle or additional-
equipment manufacturer or its representative.
Only qualified personnel should service the radio or install the radio in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to the radio.
Check regularly that all radio equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the radio or its
parts and enhancements.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, in-
cluding installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-
vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Aircrafts
Using or installing this radio in an aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your radio before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may also be illegal.
