Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an electrical device which during operation emits electromagnetic radiation at least temporarily, and to a method for operating a locating device for identifying objects. The method for operating an electrical device is characterized in that the presence of an external radiation source or radio communication service is detected. The invention also relates to an electrical device, especially a locating device comprising at least one UWB sensor, which device is operated according to the method of the invention.

Abstract: A broadband private automatic branch exchange is to be implemented in which all broadband user stations can be switched like normal telephone terminals with all features of a conventional telephone private automatic branch exchange and without each broadband terminal requiring its own operator position. To achieve this, in accordance with the invention, all the broadband terminals (BB-E1, BB-E24) which are connectable via a broadband switching array (BB-V) to the subscriber line unit (TAE) of the public broadband network (VBN) are also connected like ordinary telephone user stations to a narrow band telephone private automatic branch exchange system (SB-PABX) which is connected via a signaling conversion module (VBNA) to the line unit (TAE) and which initiates the narrow band call setup and controls the broadband switching array for switching broadband calls.
