Flammability
Do not use the stimulator near flammable fuels, fumes or chemicals. Do not use flammable
cleaning products to clean the device.
Electromagnetic emissions
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by
Odstock Medical Limited could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and
the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the
