Safety Information
This chapter is an extract of the multilingual safety booklet publication. For the latest safety information,
refer to the separate safety booklet delivered with your radio.
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide
CAUTION: Before using this radio, read the guide enclosed with your radio which contains
important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for
compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
If inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility, nearly
every electronic device is susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 cm (6 in.) be maintained between a hand-held wireless radio and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
•
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential of interference.
•
Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
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.
