2.2.1
Medical equipment compatibility
Medical devices, such as pacemakers, hearing aids etc. are usually manufactured according to the IEC 6011-2 standard, which requires that devices must operate properly in an EM (Electromagnetic) field which has
a strength of 3V/m over a frequency band from 26 to 1000 MHz.
WARNING: Persons using pacemakers should be aware of the possible risk of interference from any
electronic device if positioned too close to the pacemaker.
WARNING: When using WLAN cards, which emit radio frequency signal, please verify that the model
in question fulfils the required standards.
2.2.2
Wireless networks and microwave equipment
When equipped with a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) card, users should be aware that most
WLAN’s operate at the frequency of 2.4 GHz. Many microwave products, e.g. microwave ovens, operate
at the same frequency. Thus, in environments containing such products performance degradation may be
noticed. In most cases all affected equipment will continue to operate normally, excluding data transfer
speed, which may be slower than normal due to the increased need for error correction.
