Safety and General Information
Electromagnetic 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 Personal Communicator 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 Personal Communicator when on board an aircraft. Any use of a Personal Communicator must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless Personal Communicator device and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug Administration.
