Medical Equipment - Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that radios should be held at more than 15cm. (6 inches) from
a pacemaker. This is in accordance with research undertaken by the US Food & Drug Administration and their recommen-
dations. Those with pacemakers fitted must:
• ALWAYS hold the radio at more than 15cm. (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on.
• Avoid carrying the 2 way radio in a chest pocket.
• Hold the 2 way radio to the ear on the opposite side of the body to the pacemaker, to reduce the possibility of interferen-
ce.
• TURN OFF the radio immediately if there is reason to suspect the presence of interference.
Medical devices - Hearing aids
Certain 2 way radios can create interference for certain hearing aids. If this is the case, contact the hearing aid manufactu-
rer to discuss other possible solutions.
Other medical devices
If another type of personal medical device is used please consult the manufacturer to establish whether it is sufficiently pro-
tected against external RF energy sources. Your doctor can help obtain such information.
Safety and use in a vehicle
Drivers must check the laws and regulations relative to the use of 2 way radios in the areas where they are driving.
Always observe these laws and regulations strictly.
If you wish to use the radio when driving, stop and park on the shoulder of the road before sending or responding.
