4 Introduction
• Wireless communication devices . Wireless communication devices such as computers that operate
on a wireless network, handheld personal computers (PDA), cellular phones, and even cordless tele-
phones may generate enough EMI to interfere with the performance of your device or the PA if you
are too close to the source of EMI.
• Household appliances . Household appliances such as microwave ovens, electric blankets, and
power tools should not damage your device or the PA. However, they may interfere with the perfor-
mance of your device or the PA.
• Industrial equipment . A variety of industrial equipment may generate enough EMI to interfere with
the performance of your device or the PA. These include, but are not limited to: arc welders; induction
furnaces; very large or defective electric motors; and internal combustion engines with poorly
shielded ignition systems.
• Metal detectors and security systems . Metal detectors found in airports and government build-
ings, and electronic article surveillance/anti-theft (EAS) systems such as those at the point of sale and
entrances/exits of stores, libraries, banks, etc., emit signals that may interfere with the performance of
your device or the PA. To minimize the possibility of interference, simply walk through these areas at a
normal pace and avoid lingering near or leaning on these systems. If your device triggers an alarm,
show your identification card to security personnel.
• Cellular phones . The device has been tested for use with cellular phones. Based on the results of the
tests, the device should not be affected by the normal operation of cellular phones when used more
than 15 cm from the device.
To minimize the possibility of interference, do not carry a cellular phone in a breast pocket or on a belt
within 15 cm of the device. Use a cellular phone on the side of your body opposite from the device.
