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.
