SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS (continued)
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the pos-
sibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off the radio in any location
where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care facilities.
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 a minimum separation of 15cm be
maintained between a radio and pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. People
with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm away from the pacemaker when the radio is powered on.
•NOT carry the radio in the breast pocket (handheld models).
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
•Turn the radio OFF immediately there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
MEDICAL DEVICES – HEARING AIDS
Some 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.
MEDICAL DEVICES - OTHER
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. You physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Keep the radio out of reach of babies and/or young children
