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, Defibrillators or other Implanted Medical Devices
Persons with pacemakers, Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) or other
active implantable medical devices (AIMD) should:
Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of interference from
radio frequency transmitters, such as portable radios (poorly shielded medical
devices may be more susceptible to interference).
Turn the radio OFF immediately if they have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation site, and carry
or use the radio on the opposite side of their body from the implantable device
to minimize the potential for interference.
