en
- 8 -
User Guide
• Use the terminal with the ear on the opposite side to the pacemaker to minimise
possible interference.
• Turn off the terminal immediately if, for any reason, you suspect it is causing
interference.
•
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. If this happens, separate the terminals until the
interference disappears.
3.4 Other operational warnings
