Hand-held Mode
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the controlled
environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:
-To receive calls, release the PTT button.To transmit (talk), press the
Push-to-Talk (PTT) button in front of the face.
-Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other
parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5
centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility. During transmissions, your radio generates RF
energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems..To
avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to
do so,such as hospitals or health care facilities
Persons with pacemakers, Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or
other active implantable medical devices should:
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of interference f
rom radio frequency transmitters, such as portable radios (poorly shielded
medical devices may be more susceptible to interference).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and
carry or use the radio on the opposite side of their body from the implantable
device to minimize the potential for interference.
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
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn off your radio power in the following conditions:
•Turn off your radio before removing or installing accessory.
•Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
hazardous or explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially
qualified should be used in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe".
