ELECTRO MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY:
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.
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 the independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. 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 external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
