NOTE
Electromagnetic fields are generated during normal use of the HF
device. This can adversely affect other devices.
Ensure that no electronic devices are placed in the vicinity of the
HF device.
WARNING
Shock hazard
Always connect the HF device to a grounded power distribution
system in order to prevent electric shock.
DANGER
Risk of burns to patients due to excessive leakage current
Locate the HF device outside the immediate vicinity of the patient;
see Section Ambient conditions, page 13.
HF devices may be used only in rooms used for medical purposes that
meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0100-710.
If the HF device was previously stored or transported at temperatures
below +10 °C or at a relative humidity above 75%, non-condensing, it will
take approximately three hours to adjust to room temperature.
1. Observe the specified operating conditions; see Section Operating
conditions, page 25.
2. Place the HF device on one of the following platforms:
a table,
an equipment trolley;
a console suspended from a ceiling support or wall-
mounted brackets.
Do not place any device on the HF device.
3. Place the HF device a sufficient distance away from other
electronic equipment; see Section EMC, page 47.
4. Position the HF device with the front of the device facing the patient
and surgeon.
5. Do not place any other objects on or above the HF device.
