DROP HAZARD — Verify the equipment mount used to hold both the docking station and the patient monitor will support a minimum of 30 pounds (13.60 kg). Otherwise, serious injury or death could result. Revision A Dash Port 2 Docking Station 2000966-138...
The video cable should NOT exceed 45.72 meters (150 feet) in length. The remote display does NOT provide audible patient or system alarms. Therefore, GE recommends that you mount the remote display in a location that allows the clinician to see and hear the patient and system alarms that originate from the patient monitor.
Equipment Mounts Mounting Options 127( GE strongly recommends not using a non-locking variable height wall mount arm with this product. The weight of the monitor keeps the mounting arm in position. Removing the monitor from the mount could cause the mounting arm to unexpectedly spring upwards.
