WARNING:
Connection to positive pressure sources such as oxygen and medical air, even momentarily, could
injure the patient or operator and could damage the equipment.
WARNING:
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because
it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
WARNING:
Use of accessories, transducers and cables could result in increased electromagnetic emissions
or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation. No
cables, transducers, or accessories are required for operation.
WARNING:
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Amvex
Vacuum Regulator. Otherwise,degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
NOTE:
The EMISSIONS characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas
and hospitals. If it is used in a residential environment this equipment might not offer adequate
protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user might need to take mitigation
measures, such as relocating or re-orienting the equipment.
