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 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
the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food
and Drug Administration.
