To avoid these compatibility conflicts, respect the current regulations of the area you are in, and turn off the terminal whenever its use is prohibited, when it may cause interference or be hazardous, for example, at hospitals or health care premises, where equipment sensitive to external RF radiation may be being used.

  • Page 9: Other Operational Warnings

    Hearing aids or other medical devices Some digital mobile devices may interfere with these appliances. If this interference occurs, contact your service supplier or the manufacturer of the hearing aid or medical device. Using two TETRA terminals nearby may cause interference between them, for example when two of these devices are in the same vehicle.
