Care must be taken when operating this equipment around
other equipment. Potential electromagnetic or other
interference could occur to this or to the other equipment. Try
to minimize this interference by not using other equipment in
conjunction with it.
The user must keep the device out of the reach of children.

WARNINGS
Before administering any treatment to a patient you should
become acquainted with the operating procedures for
each mode of treatment available, as well as the indications,
contraindications, warnings, and precautions. Consult other
resources for additional information regarding the application
of Electrotherapy.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the unit from the
power source before attempting any maintenance procedures.
Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes in
contact with each other could result in improper stimulation
or skin burns.
Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are
unknown.
Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or
mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles
may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to
close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that
the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause
cardiac arrhythmia.
Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected,
and inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis,
thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
