Radio and Electromagnetic Interference

Radio interference can be generated by every device that emits electromagnetic signals. With so many devices transmitting and receiving radio waves, interference can occur when radio waves overlap.

• Do not use the FRITZ!Box in places where the use of radio devices is prohibited.

• Follow any instructions to switch off radio devices – especially in hospitals, outpatient treatment centers, medical practices and other medical facilities – in order to prevent interference with sensitive medical equipment.

• Consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your medical device

(pacemaker, hearing aid, electronically controlled implant, etc.) to find out whether it could be affected by interference from your

FRITZ!Box.

• If applicable, maintain the recommended minimum distance of

15 cm recommended by the manufacturers of medical devices in order to prevent malfunctions of your medical device.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Under unfavorable conditions, radio waves in the vicinity of explosive environments can cause fires or explosions.

• Do not install and operate your FRITZ!Box in the vicinity of explosive environments, flammable gases, areas in which the air contains chemicals or particles like grain, dust or metal powder, or in the vicinity of detonation grounds.

• In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, and in the vicinity of detonation grounds, follow the instructions to switch off electronic devices in order to prevent interference with detonation and ignition systems.
