4 Safety and General Information
Electromagnetic Interference /
Compatibility
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 Personal Communicator 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 Personal Communicator when
on board an aircraft. Any use of a Personal Communicator 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 centimetres) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by,
and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the Personal Communicator more than six inches
(15 centimetres) from their pacemaker when the Personal
Communicator is turned ON.
• Not carry the Personal Communicator in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for
interference.
• Turn the Personal Communicator OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
