Do not use in hospitals
Please ensure you follow any local regulations or rules. People are often asked to switch off all electronic
devices in some areas of a hospital; this is a recommendation that Option fully supports. Using a datacard
close to sensitive electronic devices could possibly result in interference. If you intend to use your PC in
such areas, you must remove the datacard.
Interference from radio signals
Option relies on advice from health authorities an relevant expert bodies about potential undesired
responses to radio emissions from datacards.
Immunity to interference
Electromagnetic interference is the disturbance of the normal operation of a device due to its undesired
response to radio signals from an external source. Occasionally in some situations, you may hear short
sounds coming from audio equipment such as radio or multimedia PC.
However, these audible signals do not interfere with the operation of the equipment.
The 1989 Directive from the European Commission ( 89 / 336 / ECC ) 13 governing all forms of electronic
equipment concerns interference that such equipment produces and its immunity to interference from
outside.
Any equipment compliant with that directive is unlikely to suffer interference. All wireless devices may get
interference, which could affect performance.
Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators & other medical implant
devices
It is possible that some datacards may interfere with some types of pacemakers or implanted defibrillators
when operated close to the implanted device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is specific to
the implant before using the datacard. Health authorities in many countries have set up advisory services
for medical devices and implants including providing advice about maintaining separation distance
between datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the implant. Option operating companies reflect
the advice given by their
relevant health authority or national advisory service and / or as a minimum indicate a separation distance
of at least 20
cm between datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the embedded device.
Hearing devices
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using mobile
devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of datacard, the type of
hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the distance between the datacard and hearing
device may reduce interference.
