RADIO FREQUENCY STANDARDS
This device produces radio-frequency emissions. Radio-frequency (RF) emissions from electronic
equipment can impact the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction.
Although the SurroSense
®
PROTECT system is designed, tested and manufactured to comply with
regulations governing radio frequency emission in countries such as the US and Canada, the wireless
transmitters and electrical circuits in the SurroSense
®
PROTECT may cause interference in other
electronic equipment. Therefore, please take the following precautions:
Travel or International Use
If you plan to travel with the SurroSense
®
PROTECT device, please note that the product uses wireless
communication, and is not to be used during flight. If you are traveling outside of the United States
or Canada, check with your travel agent prior to travel to ensure that the use of wireless products is
permitted in your country of destination.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 cm) be maintained between certain RF emitting devices and pacemakers in order to avoid
potential interference between these devices. Persons with pacemakers should always keep
SurroSense
®
PROTECT system at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the pacemaker when the device is
active.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
The SurroSense
®
PROTECT system may interfere with some hearing aids. If you experience
interference, consult your hearing aid manufacturer or your physician for solutions or alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the medical device manufacturer to ensure
that these devices are adequately shielded from RF emissions produced by devices such as the
SurroSense
®
PROTECT system.
Health Care Facilities
Hospitals and healthcare facilities may use equipment that is particularly sensitive to external RF
emissions. Disconnect your system to ensure it is not transmitting when hospital staff or signage
instructs you to do so.
Other Wireless Technologies
The SurroSense
®
PROTECT system is FCC compliant. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies that interfere with the RF emissions of this device. Please consult the manufacturers of
these devices to ensure compatibility with the SurroSense
®
PROTECT system.
