•  Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating instructions found in this manual� Know the 

limitations and hazards associated with the treatment table� Observe any and all precautionary and operational 
decals placed on the unit�

•  DO NOT operate this unit in an environment where other devices are being used that intentionally radiate 

electromagnetic energy in an unshielded manner� Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can 
affect Medical Electrical Equipment�

•  This unit generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance 

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity� However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation� Harmful interference to other devices can 
be determined by turning this unit on and off� Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following: 
reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the separation between the equipment, connect the unit to 
an outlet on a different circuit from that which the other device(s) are connected, and consult DJO, LLC for 
help�

•  NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules� These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential installation� This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to 
radio communications� However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation� 
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of 
the following measures:
–  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
–  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
–  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
–  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

•  Some persons may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical 

conductive medium (gel)� The irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternative conductive medium or 
electrode placement�

•  This device should be used only with the leads, electrodes and accessories recommended for use by the 

manufacturer�

•  Caution should be used for users with suspected or diagnosed heart problems�
