GETTING STARTED 68 i1000
Speak directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and
over your shoulder.
When using the radio as a traditional two-way
radio while making group or private calls with the
Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon
visible in the display), hold the radio in a vertical
position with the microphone one to two inches
away from the lips.
For body-worn operation, the antenna should be
kept at least one inch from the body when transmitting.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”.
Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
• Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the radio, or result in violation of ICNRP or FCC
regulations.
• Interference to Medical and Personal
Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
RF energy from the radio transmitter may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic
device(s) (for example, a pacemaker or a hearing aid) to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result.
