Protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy
surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or
earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or
earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or
earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly
against your ear
• Use careful with the earphone maybe possible
excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss
Note: Exposure to loud noises from any source for
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
radio's volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from
loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and
can have a cumulative effect.

•Turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so, hospitals or health
care facilities (Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and
Other Medical Devices) may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
•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.
