When using the radio as a traditional two-way radio
while making group or private calls with the Group/
Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon visible in the
display), hold the radio in a vertical position with the
microphone one to two inches away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, the antenna should be kept
at least one inch from the body when transmitting.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE".
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the
radio, or result in violation of ICNRP or FCC regulations.

Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF
energy from the radio transmitter may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.
Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic
device(s) (for example, a pacemaker or a hearing aid) to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Interference to Other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly or inadequately shielded electronic
operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or representative to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check with the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
Safety and General Information
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result.
