QuNeo may emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers or 

other medical devices. If you wear a pacemaker, maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15cm) of separation 

between your pacemaker and QuNeo. If you suspect QuNeo is interfering with your pacemaker or any other 

medical device, stop using QuNeo and consult your physician for information specific to your medical device.

If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by QuNeo (for example, seizures, 

blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using QuNeo.

Do not use QuNeo in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as a fueling area, or in areas 

where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders). Obey all signs and 

instructions.

When you perform repetitive activities (such playing the QuNeo for an extended period of time), you may 

experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If 

you experience discomfort, stop using QuNeo and consult a physician.
