AIRCRAFT
When instructed to do so, 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.
MEDICAL DEVICES
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld
wireless radio and a pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food
and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
•
not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
•
use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•
turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some analogue 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.
