Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore: Do not use your GC75 near medical equipment without requesting permission.

The GC75 may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a GC75 very close to a pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the GC75 over the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6'' inches) is kept between the GC75 and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your GC75. Contact your cardiologist for more information. 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.

Turn your GC75 off in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

You MUST remove your GC75 before boarding any aircraft. To prevent interference with communication systems and abide by the law, you must not use your GC75 while the plane is in the air. Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

Blasting Areas

Turn off your GC75 when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn off two-way radio to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your GC75 when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your GC75 could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your GC75 and accessories.

Inserting and removing the SIM card – precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the SIM card connectors. As a precaution, always make sure that the GC75 is already in your hand before you insert or remove the SIM card.
