Till you know otherwise. Make sure your partner in life knows a few things, One thing said partner needs to know is the location of the POWER switch on the radio.

If there is 'Interference' shutting off the radio may be all that is needed to enable the electronics to return to proper operation.

If it interference is bad enough, CPR may be needed as well.

For all readers: If you have not already done so you should become CPR certified. I got to use my training a couple of weeks ago, 25 years as a police dispatcher and after 5 years of retirement I got to use my training at last. (I"m trained to tell folks how to do it over the phone, not the easiest way to do CPR) Though I do not know the outcome I do not believe CPR was started in time.

And though this is a bit too costly for me just now,,, You might consider a personal AED as well, your CPR instructor can explain those to you.
