CAUTION
Insufficient distance to HF communication devices (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, WiFi
devices)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
►
Therefore, keeping a minimum distance of 30 cm to HF communication devices is recommended.
CAUTION
Operating the product in very close proximity to other electronic devices
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Do not operate the product in the immediate vicinity of other electronic devices.
► Do not stack the product with other electronic devices during operation.
►
If simultaneous operation cannot be avoided, monitor the product and verify proper use in the existing setup.
CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention systems, metal
detectors)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Ensure that the patient is not in the vicinity of sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference during tri­
al fitting (such as theft prevention systems, metal detectors...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that the patient has a safeguard when walking or standing (e.g. a
