Electromagnetic Interference/
Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on
board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline
crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with those of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
