RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
When any electronic device is adversely affected by radio waves, Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) is said to have occurred. All electronic de-
vices like the SEMS II distress alarm may be subject to the effects of RFI,
most of which are temporary in nature. Users of the SCOTT SCBA with the
integrated SEMS II distress alarm must be familiar with the normal operation
of the distress alarm and must also be familiar with how to identify and avoid
the effects of RFI (see DETECTING AND AVOIDING RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE on page 6). If RFI occurs to the SEMS II distress alarm, it
may be caused by transmissions from hand-held or personal radios where the
radio antenna is touching or very close to (less than 6 inches from) components
of the SEMS II distress alarm. It may also be caused by transmissions from
base stations or high-powered vehicle mounted radios or any other powerful
source of electromagnetic radiation.
