CAUTION
POWER REQUIREMENTS — Before connecting the device to the
power line, check that the voltage and frequency ratings of the
power line are the same as those indicated on the unit's label. If this
is not the case, do not connect the system to the power line until you
adjust the unit to match the power source.
In the U.S.A., if the installation of this equipment will use 240 V
rather than 120V, the source must be a center-tapped, 240V, single-
phase circuit.
This equipment is suitable for connection to public mains as defines
in CISPR 11.

SUPERVISED USE — This equipment is intended for use under the
direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner.
CAUTION
UNINTENTIONAL RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)
INTERFERENCE — Unintentional RF interference could degrade
the reliability and performance of the wireless data link. The facility
must maintain an RF environment free from unintentional
interference. Refer to the service manuals for more information.
