Medical Devices - Pacemakers
The advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6
inches (15 cm) 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 6 inches (15cm) 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.
Medical Devices – 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.
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.”
