Introduction
For body-worn operation, this radio demonstrates compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with approved accessories supplied with or designed for this product. Use of
other accesssories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Antenna Care - Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach
-
ments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations. Do not use any radio that has a
damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices - Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers - The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separa-
tion of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the indepen
-
dent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers
should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches from their pacemaker when the radio is turned
on, should not carry the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-
mize the potential for interference, and should 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 external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles - RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
