you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

If you use any other personal medical device, 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.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio
type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL,
or CENELEC). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such 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 or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust or 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 radio." Obey all signs and
instructions.
