CAUTION
Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable regulations which vary from country to
country. In most countries, the disposal of used batteries is forbidden in general domestic
and commercial waste and the end-users are invited to dispose of them properly, typically
through not-for-profit profit organisations, mandated by local governments or organised on a
voluntary basis by professionals.
CAUTION
Pressing buttons or the touch screen with sharp or pointed instruments may cause
permanent damage. Only fingers should be used to press these keys.
CAUTION
Do not reconnect the headset to its docking pin when the main battery is very low or flat
(less than 10% charge – as represented by a single flashing LED on the battery charge
indicator). Doing this could reduce the battery charge into a “deep discharge” state (where
no battery lights come on).
CAUTION
Use of monitoring during continuous nebulised medication delivery will result in damage to
the device which is not covered by the warranty. Disconnect the Capnometer sample line
from the device, or switch off the device, during medication delivery.
CAUTION
Observe proper battery polarity (direction) when replacing batteries. The batteries slide
easily into place when correctly oriented and should not be forced.
CAUTION
The mobile RF communications equipment contained within the device and its accessories
can affect other medical devices that are in close proximity to the device.
CAUTION
Use of the RF communications equipment contained in the device and its accessories may
be prohibited in a number of areas. These include: on aircraft in-flight (including during
take-off and landing), near defibrillators (that are in use), near other electronic medical
devices and in hospitals.
CAUTION
In addition, the use of the RF communications equipment contained in the device and its
accessories may be prohibited in explosive atmospheres e.g. in fuelling areas, near fuel or
chemical transfer or storage areas and in areas containing chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust or metal powders.
