Interference with electronic devices
Warning
Some electronic devices may be prone to malfunction
due to the lack of protection from RF energy that is present when
your radio is transmitting.
Examples of electronic devices that may be affected by RF
energy are:
■
aircraft electronic systems
■
vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection, anti-skid
brakes, and cruise control
■
medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing aids
■
medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Switch off the radio before boarding an aircraft. Using your radio
while in the air is not permitted.
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of any such
electronic devices to determine whether electronic circuits in those
devices will perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
Warning
If you have a pacemaker:
■
immediately turn off the radio if you suspect it is interfering
with the pacemaker
■
keep the radio at least 6 inches (15cm) from the pacemaker
while the radio is on
■
use the radio on your right side to minimize interference
■
never carry the radio in a breast pocket.
If there is interference between your hearing aid and the radio,
please discuss an alternative solution with the hearing aid
manufacturer.
