Systems with modem
If you use the GPS receiver with a modem, note that the modem emits radio waves when switched on. These can interfere with other devices or be harmful to human health.
You should therefore follow the following instructions when using the GPS receiver with a modem:
- ▪
- If you wear a medical device, ask your doctor or the device manufacturer about how to prevent hazards. Medical devices such as pacemakers or hearing aids can be affected by the radio transmissions of modems.
- ▪
- If you wear a pacemaker, keep the modem away from the pacemaker.
- ▪
- Switch off the modem as soon as you are close to petrol stations, chemical plants, biogas plants or other locations where combustible gases or fumes can occur. These gases can be ignited by a spark and explode.
- ▪
- Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between the antenna of the modem and your body.
- ▪
- Never switch on the modem in an aircraft. Ensure that it is not accidentally switched on during flight.
