1.4 Warnings and Precautions

Throughout this manual the following meaning of warnings, cautions and notices are used:
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
When connecting this device to a computer it is essential to insert a galvanic
separation between the device and the computer, unless the computer is battery
operated or supplied by a medical approved power supply. If connecting directly to
a PC it must be supplied from a medical isolation transformer fulfilling the
requirements of IEC/ES 60601-1.
Please note that if connection is made to standard equipment like an active
speaker, special precautions must be taken in order to maintain medical safety. If
used without galvanic separation, it must be supplied from a medical isolation
transformer fulfilling the requirements of IEC/ES 60601-1.
Do not touch the patient while operating PC, printer etc.
No modification of this equipment is allowed without Interacoustics authorization.
Interacoustics will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists,
descriptions, calibration instructions, or other information that will assist service
personnel to repair those parts of this.
Although the instrument fulfils the relevant EMC requirements precautions should
be taken to avoid unnecessary exposure to electromagnetic fields, e.g. from mobile
phones etc. If the device is used adjacent to other equipment it must be observed
that no mutual disturbance appears, e.g. unwanted noise in headphones. If
disturbances are observed, try to separate the Callisto from the disturbing device.
Please refer to the section for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Do not disassemble or modify the product as this may impact the safety and/or
performance of the device.
The internal battery shall be replaced by authorized personnel.
When using insert ear phones, make sure that foam or ear-tip is mounted correctly.
It is recommended that the disposable foam ear-tips supplied with the optional
E.A.R Tone 3A or E.A.R Tone 5A insert transducers are replaced after each client
tested. Disposable plugs also insure that sanitary conditions exist for each of your
clients.
