Interference with electronic devices
Wa
rning 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:
■
aircraf
t electronic systems
■
vehicular electronic systems such as
fuel injec-
tion, anti-skid brakes, and cruise control
■
medical devices such as p
acemakers and hearing
aids
■
medical equipment in hospit
als or health care
facilities.
Switch off the radio before boarding an aircraft. Using
your radio while in the air is not permitted.
Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of any
such electronic devices to determine whether
electronic circuits in those devices will perform
normally when the radio is transmitting.
Warning If you have a pacemaker:
■
immediat
ely turn off the radio if you suspect it is
interfering with the pacemaker
■
keep
the radio at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the
pacemaker while the radio is on
■
use the
radio on the side opposite to the pace-
maker to minimize interference
■ never carry the radio in a
breast pocket.
If there is interference between your hearing aid and
the radio, please discuss an alternative solution with
the hearing aid manufacturer.
