Electromagnetic Interference
Moderate or high-powered wireless transmitters can produce EM fields strong enough to upset the operation of electronic equipment nearby. Cordless telephones, home entertainment systems, computers, and certain medical devices can fail to work properly in the presence of strong magnetic fields. Problems with EMI can be minimized by ensuring that all electronic equipment is operated with a good electrical ground system. Cords and cables connecting the peripherals in an electronic or computer system should be shielded to keep unwanted RF energy from entering or leaving.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is unwanted noise or interference in an electrical path or circuit caused by an outside source. It is also known as radio frequency interference. EMI can cause electronics to operate poorly, malfunction or stop working completely. EMI can be caused by natural or human-made sources
Some natural sources that affect electronic devices through producing EMFs are lightning, solar storms, and solar flares. Human-made EMI can come from high-power radio, electrical sources, and even everyday devices like cellphones; it can also come from malfunctioning or improperly designed consumer devices
One of the most prevalent dangers of EMI is the harm it can cause to health care equipment. The electromagnetic waves that radiate from our cell phones can easily interfere with medical equipment, and if this equipment stops working as a result, the consequences can be fatal
