FCC Warnings
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals–Your device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Antenna Care–Use only the supplied antenna or a recommended
antenna accessory. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC
regulations. Warning: 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
(HIMA) and Wireless Technology Research recommend that a
minimum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. 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, 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.
Posted Facilities–Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
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 should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
Commercial Aircraft–Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of
radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft
or check the airline rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres–Turn your radio OFF and do
not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from
your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
