Interference with electronic devices
Warning 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:
■ aircraft electronic systems
■ vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection,
anti-skid brakes, and cruise control
■ medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing
aids
■ medical equipment in hospitals or health care facili-
ties.
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:
■ immediately turn off the radio if you suspect it is inter-
fering 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 pacemaker
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.
