Radio frequency energy
Your FCT is a radio transmitter and receiver. When
the FCT is turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) energy. The system that handles your
call when you are using your FCT controls the power
level at which your FCT transmits.
All Ericsson terminals are designed to not exceed the
limits for exposure to RF energy set by national
authorities and international health agencies.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) measurements are
usually performed for products that are normally used
at the ear. As the FCT is not to be used close to the
human body, as it is at least 20 cm apart from the
telephone device (See installation instructions), SAR
measurements are not applicable to the FCT.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example
equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not,
and so Radio Frequency (RF) energy from the FCT
terminal may affect some electronic equipment,
therefore:
• Do not use your FCT near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• Do no use your FCT in airplanes.
• Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of
an FCT very close to a pacemaker might cause the
device to malfunction.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed if placed very
near the FCT.
Multiple electrical devices connected to the AC
power outlet that is used by the FCT terminal may
generate excessive interference to the FCT terminal.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Do not use the FCT near a gas leak. Use a telephone
away from the area of the suspected gas leak to
immediately report it.
Turn off the FCT in areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, for example: gas stations, below deck on
boats, fuels or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemical or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders. It is rare, but
your FCT or its accessories could generate sparks.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the areas where the FCT is installed.
