When using the radio as a traditional two-way
radio while making group or private calls with the
Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon
visible in the display), hold the radio in a vertical
position with the microphone one to two inches
away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, the antenna should be
kept at least one inch from the body when
transmitting.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a
higher power level than needed.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON.
• not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones 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 phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
