Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To
avoid the possibility 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.

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.
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.
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.
Keep the radio out of reach of babies and/or young children. Never use your radio outdoors
during a thunderstorm.
