Interference with electronic devices
Some electronic devices may be prone to malfunction due to
the lack of protection from RF energy that is present when
your radio is transmitting.
■ Examples of electronic devices that may be affected by RF
energy are:
■ vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection, anti-skid
brakes, and cruise control
■ medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers
■ medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities.
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of the
equipment to determine whether these electronic circuits will
perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
Frequency band reserved for distress beacons
Frequency band 406 to 406.1 MHz is reserved for use by
distress beacons. Transmissions should not be made within
this frequency band.
Safe radio operation
Warning: Observe the following safe operating practices:
■ Switch the radio off at petrol filling stations or near
flammable liquids or gases.
■ Switch the radio off in the vicinity of explosive devices and
blasting zones.
■ Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving a
vehicle may violate the laws and legislation that apply in
your country or state. Please check the regulations
in your area.
