EN 60950 requirements (25 watt radios)
This radio complies with the European Union standard
EN 60950 when operated up to the rated 33% duty cycle of
two minutes transmit and four minutes receive, and with
ambient temperatures of 30°C or lower.
Caution: Operation outside these limits may cause the
external temperature of the radio to rise higher than this
standard permits.
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.
