states that it should be used in such a way that it maintains a distance of at least 8 inches (20
cms) between the radio's antenna and the human body.

Medical and Personal Electronic Devices

Most electronic equipment is protected from RF energy. However, certain equipment may not
be shielded against RF signals being emitted from your modem.
Pacemakers
Operators should not use the modem if individuals with pacemakers are within 6 inches (0.15
meters) of the antenna.
Hearing Aids
The modem may interfere with hearing aid devices. Individuals who experience such
interference should consult the hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternative solutions.
Other Medical Devices
Individuals who have other medical devices not specifically mentioned in this guide may want

external RF energy.

Interference with Other Electronic Devices

RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately protected electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
