WARNING:  INSTALLATION OF SIEMENS 135/185 CANDELA STROBE PRODUCTS IN SLEEPING AREAS SHOULD BE WALL MOUNTED AT 

LEAST 24" BELOW THE CEILING AS FOLLOWS:  (1) THE ON-AXIS (DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF LENS) LIGHT OUTPUT SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT 
THE EYE-LIDS OF THE SLEEPING PERSON, E.G. PILLOW END OF BED, BED HEAD; (2) NO PART OF THE BED SHALL BE MORE THAN 
SIXTEEN (16) FEET FROM THE STROBE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE.  INSTALLERS MUST ADVISE OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF BUILDINGS 
WITH SLEEPING OCCUPANTS, E.G. HOTELS AND MOTELS, TO WARN GUESTS, RESIDENTS AND EMPLOYEES TO NOT MOVE THE BED 
LOCATION TO A POSITION VIOLATING POINTS (1) AND (2) ABOVE OR SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR LOSS OF LIFE MAY OCCUR DURING A FIRE 
EMERGENCY. 
 
 

WARNING: A SMALL POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE USE OF MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON'S FIELD OF VIEW, UNDER CERTAIN 

CIRCUMSTANCES, MIGHT INDUCE A PHOTO-SENSITIVE RESPONSE IN PERSONS WITH EPILEPSY.  STROBE REFLECTIONS IN A GLASS OR 
MIRRORED SURFACE MIGHT ALSO INDUCE SUCH A RESPONSE.  TO MINIMIZE THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD, SIEMENS STRONGLY 
RECOMMENDS THAT THE STROBES INSTALLED SHOULD NOT PRESENT A COMPOSITE FLASH RATE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHICH 
EXCEEDS FIVE (5) Hz AT THE OPERATING VOLTAGE OF THE STROBES. SIEMENS ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY 
AND COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, STANDARDS, 
REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES. 
 
 
NOTE:

  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital appliance, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These 

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or 
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 
of the following measures:  1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,  2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver,  3) Connect 
the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, and  4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.
