[. . . ] However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from the handheld. Pacemakers: Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you have any questions regarding the effect of RF signals on your pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, verify that you are using the handheld in accordance with the safety requirements associated with your particular pacemaker, which might include the following: · Always keep the handheld more than 7 inches (20 cm) from the pacemaker when the handheld is turned on. · When using the handheld as a phone, use the ear opposite the pacemaker for making and receiving calls to minimize the potential interference. · If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the handheld radio and the Bluetooth radio off immediately. Hearing aids: Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, consult your service provider or contact the manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss alternatives. Other medical devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. 4 Safety and Product Information Health care facilities: Turn the handheld radio and the Bluetooth 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. Aircraft: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and FCC regulations prohibit using the radio of the handheld while in the air. Turn the handheld radio and the Bluetooth radio off before boarding an aircraft. The effect of using the handheld radio or the Bluetooth radio in an aircraft is unknown. Such use might affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance, might disrupt the network, might otherwise be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, and might be illegal. Use any other handheld applications in accordance with airline regulations for electronic devices. Dangerous areas Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn the handheld radio and the Bluetooth radio off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline or petrol stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); 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. Do not use the handheld phone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Blasting areas: To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn the handheld radio and the Bluetooth radio off when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions. Service Only qualified service personnel should perform repairs to the handheld. Disconnect the power supply cables from the computer or electrical outlet and refer the handheld or charging accessory for service to qualified service personnel if any of the following situations occur: · the power supply cord, plug, or connector is damaged · liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the handheld or charging accessory · the handheld or charging accessory has been exposed to rain or water · the handheld or charging accessory becomes very hot to the touch · the handheld or charging accessory has been dropped or damaged in any way · the handheld or charging accessory does not operate normally by following the instructions in the user documentation · the handheld or charging accessory exhibits a distinct change in performance Do not attempt to disassemble the handheld or any charging accessory. [. . . ] Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio communications.
