•
Unwanted noise may occur if the device is exposed to a strong radio field. Such noise may interfere with the per-
formance of the device. Many types of electrical devices, e.g. mobile telephones, may generate radio fields. We
recommend that the use of such devices in the vicinity of AURICAL OTOcam 300 be restricted.
•
RF emissions from AURICAL OTOcam 300 are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby elec-
tronic equipment. However, local devices placed in close vicinity of AURICAL OTOcam 300 may experience a negative
effect or loss of functionality..
•
It is recommended to install the unit in an environment that minimizes the amount of static electricity. For example,
anti-static carpeting is recommended.
•
We recommend that the device should not be stacked with other equipment or placed in a poorly ventilated space as
this may affect the performance of the device. If it is stacked or placed adjacent to other equipment, make sure that
the operation of the device is not affected.
•
To prevent cross-infection or re-infection, the specula must be disposed of after single use.
•
Accidental damage and incorrect handling can have a negative effect on the functionality of the device. Contact your
supplier for advice.
