Warnings &
Precautions
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 external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regu-
lations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external IRF energy.
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.
Posted Facilities - Turn your radio OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
Commercial Aircraft - Many commercial airlines prohibit
the use of FRS radios on board. Switch OFF your radio
before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules.
Blasting Areas - To avoid interfering with blasting opera-
tions, turn your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
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 fi re resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but
not always clearly marked. They include fueling ares such
as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefi ed petro-
leum gas (such as propane or butane); 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.
