Magnet disclaimers

WARNING!
Magnets can have an adverse effect on medical devices such as pacemakers, implantable cardio defribri-
lators (ICD) and other implantable medical devices. Persons with such devices should maintain sufficient
distance between the medical device and the magnet. Please consult your physician or pacemaker or ICD
manufacturer for additional guidance and recommendations.
Neodymium magnets have a strong attractive force. Each can attract quickly when in close proximity to
another. Individual magnets can attract quickly when in close proximity to metal objects.
Use protective gloves and eyewear and keep hands away from the back of the detector where the magnet
is housed when handling the detector to avoid a potentially severe pinch injury.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
