Hearing Damage Warning

You can permanently damage your ears and lose hearing if you listen to the device, earbuds, or
headphones at high volume. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked.

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.

Failure to heed the following notice could result in personal or property damage, or negatively impact
the device functionality.
