NOTICE
1. DO NOT connect the Affinity2.0 hardware to the computer before the software has been installed!
2. The instrument is intended for continued use. However, there is a risk of damaging the transducers if
they are operated at the highest intensities for longer periods.
3. To avoid overheating, please observe that cooling vents are unobstructed and that the air can flow
freely around the instrument.
4. Within the European Union it is illegal to dispose of electrical and electronic
waste as unsorted municipal waste. Electrical and electronic waste may
contain hazardous substances and therefore have to be disposed of
separately. Such products will be marked with the crossed-out wheelie-bin
image shown to the left. User cooperation is important in order to ensure a high
level of reuse and recycling of electrical and electronic waste. Failure to recycle
such waste products in an appropriate way may endanger the environment and consequently the
health of human beings.
No installation precautions are necessary to avoid unwanted sound radiation from the audiometer.
When connecting the Affinity2.0 to the mains supply and to a computer the following warnings must be
observed:
