ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Medical Electrical Equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility. elements IC needs to be installed and put into service according to the
electromagnetic compatibility information provided in these instructions. Portable
and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
WARNING:
The use of accessories and options other than those specified by the manufacturer
may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of elements IC. In the
event of intermittent function of the device due to exposure to electromagnetic
interference, power cycle the unit as per IFU instructions provided above.
In the event of permanent damage or display blackouts of the device due to electro-
magnetic interference, stop use of the unit. Contact Kerr Customer Care.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any
part of elements IC. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
Guidance and manufacturer's declaration - electromagnetic immunity
elements IC is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of elements IC should assure that it is used in
vironment.
