Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipmen
t is shielded from RF energy. Nevertheless, RF energy from the
WINNER transmitter may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. We
therefore advise to consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic
device(s), (for example
a pacemaker or hearing aid) to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Do not install a WINNER gateway unit in a health care facility, if regulations posted in
the area restrict the use of cellular phones. Hospitals and healt
h care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or approved antenna
.
An unauthorized antenna
,
modifications or
attachments could affect call quality

STAGE
The electronic circuitry of some telephones may be insufficiently shielded to
operate
properly with the WINNER gateway units. When making or receiving a phone call, if your
he ar a hu m mi ng sou n d or noi se in th e ear pie ce of t he te lep ho ne con n ect ed to th e
WINNER, or if any other party hears the hum or noise, move the telephone away
from
the WINNER. If moving it farther away has no effect, try using a different telephone.
The WINNER is a two
-
way radio and as such, some occasional interference is
unavoidable. For best results, choose an electrical outlet away from obstructions. Do
n
ot place the WINNER near items which may increase static, such as:
Electrical appliances
Lamps
Microwaves
TVs
Fax Machines 4 Feet (1.2 meters)
Computers 4 Feet (1.2 meters)
Refrigerator
Vacuum cleaner
Light dimmers
Fluorescent bulbs
Motors
