Ethernet and Serial Cables

The use of shielded Ethernet and serial cables are required to ensure EMC compliance when 
operating this equipment.

Manual Revision and Accuracy

This manual was prepared to cover a specific version of firmware code. Accordingly, some screens 
and features may differ from the actual unit you are working with. While every reasonable effort 
has been made to ensure the accuracy of this publication, product improvements may also result in 
minor differences between the manual and the product shipped to you. If you have additional 
questions or need an exact specification for a product, please contact GE MDS using the 
information at the back of this guide. In addition, manual updates can often be found on our web 
site at www.gemds.com.

Environmental Information

The manufacture of this equipment has required the extraction and use of natural resources. 
Improper disposal may contaminate the environment and present a health risk due to hazardous 
substances contained within. To avoid dissemination of these substances into our environment, and 
to limit the demand on natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate recycling 
systems for disposal. These systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials found in this 
equipment in a sound way. Please contact GE MDS or your supplier for more information on the 
proper disposal of this equipment.

Battery Disposal

—

This product may contain a battery. Batteries must be disposed of properly, and 

may not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. See the product 
documentation for specific battery information. Batteries are marked with a symbol, which may 
include lettering to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper recycling return 
the battery to your supplier or to a designated collection point. For more information see:
www.weeerohsinfo.com.

Product Test Data Sheets

Test Data Sheets showing the original factory test results for this unit are available upon request 
from the GE MDS Quality Leader. Contact the factory using the information at the back of this 
manual. Serial numbers must be provided for each product where a Test Data Sheet is required.
