4.5.3.1 Safety and precautionary measures for the Bluetooth module installation

l

The device must not be operated in hospitals and/or in the vicinity of medical equipment such as heart
pacemakers or hearing aids.

l

The device must not be subjected to strong vibrations or impacts.

l

Do not open the Bluetooth module. Any modification to the device is prohibited and will result in the
operating licence being revoked.

l

Do not install the device in any other way to the one described in the operating instructions. Improper
use will invalidate the warranty.
