7.5 Ethernet Cable Line Safety
Disconnect all Ethernet cable lines from the equipment when not in use and/or before
servicing.
To avoid the remote risk of electric shock from lightning, do not connect the Ethernet
cable line to this equipment during lightning or thunderstorms.
7.6 Medical Devices
The operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3
centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless devices and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers should do the following:
Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the pacemaker
Do not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched on. If you
suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your service provider.
7.7 Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (anti-lock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, and airbag systems. For more information, check
with the manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been
added. Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. Check regularly that all wireless equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an
airbag, remember that airbags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed
or portable wireless equipment in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If
in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed, and the airbag inflates, serious injury
could result. Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
