To reduce the risk of permanent damage to the sensors, the procedure in section 3.2
of this manual should be followed at all times (i.e. the subject should firstly touch the
silver grounding discs with each hand, before touching the sensors directly).
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – Electromagnetic Emissions
The RhythmPad
GP
is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or
the user of the RhythmPad
GP
should assure that it is used in such an environment.

RF emissions
CISPR 11
Group 1
The RhythmPad
GP
uses RF energy only
for its internal function. Therefore, its RF
emissions are very low and are not likely
to cause any interference in nearby
electronic equipment.

is suitable for use in all
establishments,
including
domestic
establishments
and
those
directly
connected to the public low-voltage
power supply network that supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes

*Permanent damage
can occur to the
sensors above a level
of 2kV. The subject
should touch the silver
grounding discs before
touching the sensors
directly – see section
3.2 of this manual.
