8 For your safetyFor your safetyInterference with electronic devicesSome electronic devices may be prone to malfunctiondue to the lack of protection from RF energy that ispresent when your radio is transmitting.Examples of electronic devices that may be affected byRF energy are:! vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection,anti-skid brakes, and cruise control! medical devices such as hearing aidsand pacemakers! medical equipment in hospitals or healthcare facilities.Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of theequipment to determine whether these electroniccircuits will perform normally when the radiois transmitting.High temperaturesThe bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink finscan become hot during prolonged operation. Do nottouch these parts of the radio.110 watt mobilesDo not place objects on the radio. The heatsink needs aclearance of at least one inch (2.5cm) and a free flowof air.Radio protection when charging thevehicle batteryAlways remove the fuses from the radio power cablebefore charging the vehicle battery, connecting asecond battery or using power from another vehicle(e.g. when “jump-starting” the vehicle).
