WARNING
(ICDs) or other active implantable medical devices (AIMD)
should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cm from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned on.
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of
interference from radio frequency transmitters, such as
portable radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be
more susceptible to interference).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if they have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the
implantation site, and carry or use the radio on the opposite
side of their body from the implantable device to minimize
the potential for interference.
Hearing Aids
Some digital 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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
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

WARNING
high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do
not place the radio's speaker directly against your ear
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.
Avoid Burns
Antennas
•Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin when the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or
chains touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and
become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise
care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects
Long transmission
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the
radiator and chassis will become hot.
Safety Operation
Forbid
•Do not use charger outdoors or in moist environments, use
only in dry locations/conditions.
•Do not disassemble the charger, that may result in risk of
electrical shock or fire.
