Electromagnetic Emissions 

EN 60601-1-2 

The T4 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or 

user of the T4 should assure that it is used in such an environment.

RF emissions 
CISPR11/EN55011 

Group 1 

The T4 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. 

RF emissions 
CISPR11/EN55011 

Class B 

The T4 is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic es-
tablishments and those directly connected to the public low voltage 
power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic pur-
poses. 
Note: Only the recommended or supplied PC must be used in the sys-
tem to ensure compliance.
