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 operate the radio product in a breast pocket.
•
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.
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products in the area where you drive.
Always obey them.
When using the radio product while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park if driving conditions so require.
