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 radio 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 when on

Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio 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 more than 6 inches (15

centimeters)from their pacemaker when the radio is
turned ON.
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.

Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the

potential for interference.
Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
