Protection Against Endangering Of Your Hearing; Protection Against The Influence Of Electronic Body Aids - Avaya IH4 User Manual

Safety Information

Protection against endangering of your hearing

The IH4 handsets are equipped with an additional loudspeaker at the rear of
the housing for handsfree talking.
CAUTION
Do not move this rear loudspeaker (call signal, open listening) di-
rectly near your ear!
A level of more than 80 dB (A) as measured at the sound source can
be reached when signalling a call and in open listening (handsfree tal-
king) and may cause a permanent hearing defect when the distance
between the loudspeaker and the ear is too small or when this effect
occurs very often.

Protection against the influence of electronic body aids

At present, there is no scientifically founded information about health ha-
zards caused by radiation from DECT™ handsets and DECT™base sta-
tions. The health-impairing stress caused by radiation from a DECT™
handset is well below the one caused by GSM mobile phones.
Still, we recommend that people who wear a pacemaker or other electronic
body aids to always wear the DECT™handset on the side of your body that
is away from the pacemaker or body aid. Do not wear the handset directly
above the implanted pacemaker, e.g. in your breast pocket.
In Germany you can find further information in the internet on the web page
of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlen-
schutz). Follow the regulations of your local authorities, please.
If necessary, consult your doctor.
Please contact your hearing aid specialist for questions regarding the com-
patibility of the handset with a hearing aid.
