WARNING  
Power connection  
Medical  
L Use only the power source marked on the

adequately shielded from external RF  
(radio frequency) energy. (The product  
operates in the frequency range of 1.92  
GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission  
power is 115 mW (max.).)  
L Do not overload power outlets and  
extension cords. This can result in the risk  
of fire or electric shock.  
L Completely insert the AC adaptor/power  
plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so  
may cause electric shock and/or excessive  
heat resulting in a fire.  
L Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the  
AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from the  
power outlet, then wiping with a dry cloth.  
Accumulated dust may cause an insulation  
defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.  
L Unplug the product from power outlets if it  
emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes  
an unusual noise. These conditions can  
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that  
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an
