WARNING
Do
Take care of the following inside
hospitals.
•
Do not take the terminal into an
operating room, intensive care unit
(ICU), or coronary care unit (CCU).

For use inside medical institutions,
please follow the instructions given
at individual locations.
Do
Turn off the power in crowded places
such as peak-hour trains if implanted
pacemakers and ICDs may be in use
near you.

may adversely affect implanted
pacemakers and ICDs when used in
close proximity.
Do
A person with an electronic
medical device such as an
implanted pacemaker or ICD
should use or carry the terminal at
a distance more than 22 cm from
the site of implantation.
Radio waves emitted by the terminal
may adversely affect an electronic
medical device when used in close
proximity.
Do
Electronic medical devices other
than implanted pacemakers and
ICDs may also be used outside
hospitals. Users of electronic
medical devices are advised to
ask the manufacturer whether
these instruments can be affected
by radio waves.
Radio waves from the terminal can
adversely affect electronic medical
devices.
