Interference
Alertme is designed to be extremely safe and to meet and exceed European, American and many other
national safety and radio emissions standards. In normal circumstances, interference should never be a
problem for you. However, please study the rest of this section carefully. You may want to check out our
Regulatory Compliance page for more information.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between
any wireless product and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, ensure that you are at least this distance from the unit.
Hearing aids
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may wish
to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Batteries
CAUTION: All Accessories (except the Lamp) each contain a user-replaceable battery. Risk of explosion if
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never use a battery that
is damaged in any way.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object like a coin, clip or
pen causes a direct connection between the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery).
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short-circuiting. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
Customising Alertme Accessories
We strongly advise you not to modify your Alertme accessories. Our accessories have all been certified to
international safety and radio emissions standards. If you change or modify them, you could lose all that
protection. In the US, you could even void your authority from the FCC to use them.
