5.13 Safety Precautions
Medical Devices
SoftStep 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 SoftStep. If you suspect SoftStep is interfering with your
pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using SoftStep and consult your physician for information
specific to your medical device.
Medical Conditions
If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by SoftStep (for example,
seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using SoftStep.
Explosive Atmospheres
Do not use SoftStep 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.
Repetitive Motion
When you perform repetitive activities such as playing the SoftStep keys, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you
experience discomfort, stop using SoftStep and consult a physician.
High-Consequence Activities
SoftStep is not intended for use where the failure of the device could lead to death, personal injury, or
severe environmental damage.
Choking Hazard
Some SoftStep accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these accessories
away from small children.
