2.6 Do not use on aircraft
Using a wireless devices on aircraft can cause interference and is illegal. Remove your
datacard if you intend to use your PC whilst in an aircraft. Do not use it when the plane is
on the ground without permission from the aircraft crew.
2.7 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.
2.8 Interference from radio signals
Option relies on advice from health authorities and relevant expert bodies about potential
undesired responses to radio emissions from datacards.
2.9 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.
2.10 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 15cm between
datacards or other radio frequency terminal equipment and the embedded device.
