Safety Precautions
Users with pacemakers are recommended as a precaution to consult their doctor before
operating the CB radio. Not all types of pacemakers are sufficiently protected from radiation
from a nearby transmitter, so do not assume it is safe to start operation without checking!
Please remember that you are in the immediate vicinity of a transmitting aerial, particularly
when used as a mobile. If your doctor, or the manufacturer of the pacemaker, has
recommended keeping a certain safe distance from the aerial, then please follow their
instructions!
Do not transmit without connecting the aerial and never touch the aerial during transmission!

Please also take road safety into account! CB Radio (even when only receiving, particularly
when volume is turned up) can divert your attention from the road! Road safety is of course
to be given priority! Therefore only use your ALBRECHT AE 6190 HD-X when the traffic
situation enables it to be used safely.
