INTERFERENCE WITH ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from the ICM TxR Unit.

Pacemakers
Consult a physician or the pacemaker manufacturer with
any questions regarding the effect of RF signals on a spe-
cific pacemaker. When using a pacemaker, verify that the
device is being used in accordance with the safety
requirements associated with the pacemaker, which might
include the following:

If any interference is suspected to be taking place, turn
the ICM TxR Unit off immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with select
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, consult the
service provider or contact the manufacturer of the hear-
ing aid to discuss alternatives.

Other medical devices
If the user of the ICM TxR Unit is using any other personal
medical device, consult the manufacturer of the device to
determine if the device is adequately shielded from exter-
nal RF energy. A physician may be able to assist in
obtaining this information.

Health care facilities
Turn the ICM TxR Unit off in health care facilities if any
regulations are posted in these areas prohibiting the use
of such electronic devices. Hospitals or health care facili-
ties may use equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.

DESCRIPTION OF ICM TXR UNIT AND BASE STATION
INTERFACE
INTERFACE
The ICM TxR Unit on the SCBA is designed to communi-
cate with the base station and PC. This system provides
the ability to monitor firefighters from a remote location.
cate with the base station and PC. This system provides
the ability to monitor firefighters from a remote location.
When an SCBA is pressurized, the ICM TxR Unit is auto-
matically activated. It then waits to receive a signal from
the base station to begin the log-on process. After all of
the initial information has been obtained by the base sta-
tion from the ICM TxR Unit, the PC software will serve as
a communication link to the firefighter.
ID Tags are used with the ICM TxR Units to assign names
and teams to the SCBA. By utilizing ID tags, each fire-
fighter can be identified on the PC software screen by
name and team assignment.
