USER SAFETY INFORMATION

• The quality of the signal produced by the device may be adversely affected by the use of other

medical equipment, including but not limited to defibrillators and ultrasound machines.

• For proper operation and the safety of users or patients and bystanders, equipment and accessories

must be connected only as described in this manual. Do not connect a telephone line cable to the LAN

connector.

• Some Welch Allyn electrocardiographs can be equipped with a GPRS (cellular modem) or wireless LAN

(WLAN) module for transmitting ECG records. Device labeling and the presence of an antenna port will

indicate if your device is equipped with such a module. If so equipped, the following notices apply:

• The GPRS module operates in allocated frequency bands depending on the model.

Identification of the installed GPRS module can be found on a label on the bottom of the device.

• MultiTech Systems, Inc. Model MTSMC-G-F4 (Quad Band): 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, user

selectable

• The WLAN identification can be found on a label on the bottom of the device.

• Use of the GPRS or WLAN module may interfere with other equipment operating in the vicinity. Check with

local authorities or spectrum management officials in your facility to determine if restrictions apply to the

use of this feature in your area.

• Do not transmit via the GPRS or WLAN module with a missing or damaged antenna. Replace a

damaged antenna immediately.

• Use only the antenna supplied for use with this device. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could damage the GPRS module and may contravene local RF emission regulations or

invalidate type approval.

• To ensure compliance with current regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human

exposure to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between

the device's antenna and the head and body of the user and any nearby persons at all times. To help

prevent degradation of RF signal and to avoid excess RF energy absorption, do not touch the antenna

during data transmission.

• The GPRS and WLAN modules comply with applicable RF safety standards including standards

and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy that

have been established by governmental bodies and other qualified organizations, such as the

following:

• Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

• Directives of the European Community

• Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy

• Proper functioning backup items such as spare lead wires, front-end device, and other equipment are

recommended on hand to prevent delayed treatment due to an inoperable device.
