ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
The majority of electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference if they
are not adequately shielded, designed or configured for electromagnetic compatibility. To
avoid these compatibility conflicts, respect the current regulations of the area you are in,
and turn off the terminal whenever its use is prohibited, when it may cause interference
or be hazardous, for example, at hospitals or health care premises, where equipment
sensitive to external RF radiation may be being used.
Aircraft
Follow all existing restrictions, according to the regulations of the airlines or the
instructions of the crew.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend keeping a minimum safety distance of 15 cm
between a portable radio terminal and a pacemaker, to avoid possible interferences with
the latter.
People with pacemakers should:
•
When switched on, always keep the terminal more than 15 cm away from the
pacemaker.
•
Not carry the terminal in your breast pocket.
•
Use the terminal with the ear on the opposite side to the pacemaker to minimize
possible interference.
•
Turn off the terminal immediately if, for any reason, you suspect it is causing
interference.
