Electro Magnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off
your radio product in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio product when on board an aircraft.
Any use of a radio product must be in accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio
product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, 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.
