Operational Cautions

Exposure to high volume sound levels may cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use your radio with the volume set at low level and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels.

1. Set the volume control in a low position and use as low a volume as possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever possible, use your radio in a quiet environment with low background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpiece at high volume levels.
4. When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s speaker directly against your ear.
5. Observe all signs and instructions that require an electrical device or RF radio product to be switched off in designated areas,such as gas/refueling stations,hospitals,blasting areas,potentially explosive atmospheres,or aircraft.
6. If you experience a skin irritation after using this product, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
7. If the product or charger: overheats; has a damaged cord or plug; has been dropped or damaged; has been dropped into water, disconnect any charger from its power supply, discontinue use of the product.

Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

• When instructed to do so, turn off your radios when on board an aircraft.Any use of a RF device must be in accordance with applicable laws,requlations and airline crew instructions.
• Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.
• lf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your deivce to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your doctor or physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
