Medical Devices

Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum

separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless

radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the

independent research by, and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) 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 for interference.

• turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some 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.

6881038B80.book Page iv Wednesday, September 26, 2001 4:16 PM

Safety and General Information

v

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive.

Always obey them. When using your radio while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions

so require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment

area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag

deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force

and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as

“Intrinsically Safe.”

Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive

atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include

fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or

storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such

as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would

normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially

explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
