scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research
to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your adio
complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
For body-worn and face-held operation, this radio demonstrates
compliance and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for
uncontrolled exposure (general population) when used with
approved accessories supplied with or designed for this product.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Antenna Care—Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio
and may violate FCC regulations. Do not use any radio that has
a damaged antenna, because if it comes into contact with your
skin, a minor burn can result.
Electronic Devices—Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless radio.
Pacemakers—The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
(HIMA) recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6")
be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by

and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons
with pacemakers should ALWAYS keep the radio more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on, should not
carry the radio in a breast pocket, should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference, and should
turn the radio off immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids—Some digital wireless radios may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want
to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices—If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
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 these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check
with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
