8.4 Electronic Device Restrictions
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from wireless
phones and modems.
8.4.1 Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation distance of 6 inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. For
a wireless modem, which has a higher power output than a wireless phone, the
distance must be increased. For a GSP 1620 modem, a minimum separation
distance of 10.5 inches (10”) should be maintained between the transmitting
modem ODU and all pacemakers. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research, L.L.C.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the modem ODU (antenna unit) more than 10.5
inches from their pacemaker when the modem is turned ON;
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
your modem OFF immediately.
8.4.2 Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones and other wireless devices (including wireless
modems) may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives). Optional for each wireless device
manufacturer.
