◆ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the
radio is turned ON.
◆Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
◆Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
◆Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
