Electrical interference
The PDM is designed to withstand normal radio interference and
electromagnetic fields. However, as with all wireless communica-
tion technology, certain operating conditions can interrupt
communication. For example, electric appliances such as micro-
wave ovens and electric machinery located in manufacturing
environments may cause interference. In most cases, interrup-
tions are easy to resolve (see Chapter 11, Communication
Failures).
Only connect a USB cable to your PDM when down-
loading data to a computer. Other PDM functions are
disabled while a USB cable is connected, and the
PDM cannot communicate with the Pod.
When you connect a USB cable to the PDM, only use
a cable that is less than or equal to 2.7 meters (9 feet)
in length.
