RF energy interference with electronic equipment
Some personal medical devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, can be affected by rF energy.
Obtain advice from your employer or the manufacturer of your medical device before using rF wireless
devices.
Some electronic devices are sensitive to rF energy. always obey signs restricting the use of rF wireless
devices. Sepura radios can operate in traNSMIt INHIBIt mode, which restricts transmission, when
working within health care facilities or other areas that are sensitive to rF energy.
safely operating your radio
always check the compliance ratings of your radio before operating it within potentially hazardous
environments. Only intrinsically safe (ateX/IeCex) radios can be operated within hazardous
environments such as gas fumes, flammable chemicals or blasting areas.
Your radio should be used in its normal operating position when hand-held, worn on the body or secured
within a cradle. When body-worn, your radio must be secured using a Sepura approved attachment.
ensure the antenna is at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) away from the body when transmitting.
always ensure that your radio is in good operational condition and operating correctly before entering
any environment that has a potential risk to personal safety.
NeVer fit or remove the antenna, battery, Smart/microSD card or an accessory (including accessory
covers on your radio) when operating in a potentially hazardous environment.
Protection against hearing loss
NeVer place your radio next to your ear, like a mobile phone, when making a Ptt call. Your radio has a
powerful loudspeaker that could potentially damage your hearing if held next to your ear.
always check the volume level before making and receiving calls.
