Equipment
1. Special Precautions regarding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): This body worn device is
intended to be operated within a reasonable residential, domestic, public or work environment
where common levels of radiated "E" (V/m) or "H" fields (A/m) exist, such as cellular phones,
wireless technology, electric can openers, microwave and induction ovens. This device
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the provided instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
2. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
If you encounter RF interference from a mobile or stationary RF transmitter, move away from the
RF transmitter that is causing the interference.
3. Be careful when you use your transmitter closer than 30 cm (12 in) to portable radio frequency
(RF) equipment or electrical equipment. If you must use your transmitter next to portable RF
equipment or electrical equipment, observe the transmitter to verify correct system operation.
Degradation of the performance of the transmitter could result.
