Exposure to RF energy
Sepura designs and manufactures products to meet strict guidelines and
international standards relating to Radio Frequency (RF) energy and the potential
health risks associated with using RF wireless devices. If you have any concerns
relating to long term health risks associated with using RF wireless devices, you
should obtain advice from your employer.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a measurement of how much electromagnetic
radiation is absorbed by the human body whilst using a mobile wireless device.
In Europe, the recommendations made by the International Commission on Non-
Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) have been adopted. All Sepura hand-held
products comply with these occupational limits.

RF energy interference with electronic equipment
Some personal medical devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, can be
affected by RF energy. Obtain advice from your employer or the manufacturer of
your medical device before using RF wireless devices.
Some electronic devices are sensitive to RF energy. Always obey signs
restricting the use of RF wireless devices. Sepura radios can operate in
TRANSMIT INHIBIT mode, which restricts transmission, when working within
health care facilities or other areas that are sensitive to RF energy.
Safely operating your radio
