Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed orotherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
IC Canada
The term "IC:" before theequipment certification number only
signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,
turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instructyou
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to doso, turn off your radio when onboardan
aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices –Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) bemaintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistentwiththe independent research by and
recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
People with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
•Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.

obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in the
area where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use your
radio while driving, please:
•Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•Use hands-free operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
The use of a two-way radio while engagedin activities requiring
concentrationmay cause distraction or otherwise impair your ability
to safely participate insuch activities. Always use technology safely.
Do not place a portable radio inthe area over an air bag orinthe air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a po rtable
radio is placed in the air bag deployment areaand the air bag
inflates, the radiomay be propelledwith greatforce and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially ExplosiveAtmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any areawith a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified
should be used insuch areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove,
install or charge batteries insuch areas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to
above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer orstorage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dustor metal powders) and
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often—but not always—posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radios.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
