The system generates magnetic field bursts that can interfere with automatic door openers, magnetic readers, and access control devices. These fields also can distort nearby CRT screens; LCD/LED displays are not affected.

Electronic equipment such as microwave proximity sensors used for automatic doors, computer monitors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), solid-state ballasts, and ATM machines can affect the detection system. Keep antennas at least 2.4m (8ft) away from these devices whenever possible.

This anti-theft system complies with all applicable safety standards. However, people with implanted electronic medical devices may ask if the store has an anti-theft system and its location. Although most anti-theft systems are easily seen, some can be concealed.
