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.
To protect your hearing, follow these precautions:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before putting on a headset or 

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.

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.

 allows you to scroll 

through the Interference Code rapidly so you can quickly reach 
the code you want.

Note: On a radio that uses Interference Eliminator Codes, the 

code must be set to 0 to communicate with radios that do 
not have Interference Eliminator Codes. Select 0 for “no 
tone, no code” on the display of your radio.

Warning:
• Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to 
installation of electronic equipment to avoid 
interference with air bag wiring.
• DO NOT place a portable radio in the area over 
an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air 
bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is 
placed in the air bag deployment area and the air 
bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great 
force and cause serious injury to occupants of the 
vehicle.

Warning:
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a 
potentially explosive atmosphere could result in a 
serious injury, or death. You should only use a 
certified Intrinsically Safe radio in potentially 
explosive atmospheres.
• Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard 
classified locations that may contain hazardous 
gas, vapors, dusts, such as fueling areas below 
decks on boats, fuel, or chemical transferor 
storage facilities, and areas where the air 
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, 
dust, or metal powders. Areas with potentially 
explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, 
posted.
• Turn off your radio prior to entering any area 
with a potentially explosive atmosphere unless it 
is a radio type specifically certified for use in 
hazardous location areas.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in 
such areas, or remove or install antennas. Sparks 
in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause 
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or 
even death.

Warning: 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.”
