Keep other electrical medical devices, e.g.
high-frequency surgical devices, a minimum
distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
incorrect measurements or wireless transmis-
sion interference.
Keep HF devices such as cell phones a mini-
mum distance of approx. 1 meter away to
prevent incorrect measurements or wireless
transmission interference.
The actual transmission output of HF equip-
ment may require minimum distances of more
than 1 meter. Details can be found at
