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 carry the radio product in a breast pocket.

Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference.

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.
