MagniLink AIR - Mac

 

User Manual 7946397 | MagniLink AIR - Mac 

 

 

Do not rely 100 per cent on the results of an OCR conversion; the 
OCR engine can misinterpret the text. This is particularly important 
to bear in mind when processing sensitive information such as a 
medical prescription. 

 

Make no further adjustments, even if the product does not function 
normally after following the functional descriptions. Pull out the 
power cable and contact service staff or the product distributor. 
Only use spare parts that are specified by LVI. 

If in doubt, contact your supplier. 

 

 

Warning

 

The product is supplied packed in a plastic bag. To avoid risk of 
suffocation, keep the bag out of the reach of children and infants.
