Exposure to loud noises from any source for
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
volume of the radio, the sooner your hearing will be
affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is
sometimes undetectable at first, and can have a
cumulative effect.
Toprotect your hearing, follow these precautions:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turnupthe volume only if you arein noisysurroundings.
• Turn downthe volumebefore putting on a headsetor
headphones.
• Limit the amount of time you use a headset or
headphones at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or headphones,
do not place the speaker of the radio directly against your
ear.
Medical Devices
If you use a personal medical device, such as a
pacemaker or hearing aid, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Holsters Incorporating Magnets
Some Motorola Solutions holsters incorporate
strong, neodymium magnets. If you use a personal
medical device, such as a pacemaker or hearing
aid, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it can be used in close proximity to
magnets. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information. Also be aware that
magnets can damage other products, including cell
phones, computers, hard drives, and other
electronic devices, as well as credit cards and
magnetic media. Keep the holster away from any
mechanical device that could be affected by a
magnetic field. Consult the manufacturer of your
product to determine if your device or product can
be used in close proximity to magnets.
