Acoustic Safety
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:
● 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 adding headset or earpiece.
● Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
● When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly against your
ear.
● If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your ears, or speeches that are muffled, you should stop
listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece, and have your hearing checked by your doctor.
Medical Devices
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.
