Information on Safe Operation

Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio

Stations) Class Licence 2002

No licence is required to own or operate this radio in Australia and
New Zealand.
The Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class
Licence 2002 contains the technical parameters, operating
requirements, conditions of licence and relevant standards for
Citizen Band (CB) radios. CB radios must comply with the class
licence for their use to be authorised under the class licence.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic
interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any
location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health
care facilities.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an
aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.

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.
People with pacemakers should:

ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cm from their

pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
