4.6 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Distance to HF communication devices is too small (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth
devices, WiFi devices)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
► Therefore, keeping the following minimum distances to these HF communication devices is
recommended:
• Mobile phone GSM 850/GSM 900: 0.50 m
• Mobile phone GSM 1800/GSM 1900/UMTS: 0.35 m
• DECT cordless phones incl. base station: 0.18 m
• WiFi (routers, access points,...): 0.11 m
• Bluetooth devices (third-party products not approved by Ottobock): 0.11 m
CAUTION
Operating the product in very close proximity to other electronic devices
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
► Do not operate the product in the immediate vicinity of other electronic devices.
► Do not stack the product with other electronic devices during operation.
► If simultaneous operation cannot be avoided, monitor the product and verify proper use in
the existing setup.
CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention
systems, metal detectors)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
► Avoid remaining in the vicinity of visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores, metal detectors/body scanners for people (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters,
transformer stations...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that you have a safeguard when walking or stand­
ing (e.g. a handrail or the support of another person).
When walking through theft prevention systems, body scanners or metal detectors, watch
►
for unexpected changes in the damping behaviour of the product.
CAUTION
Entering a room or area with strong magnetic fields (e.g. magnetic resonance tomo­
graphs, MRT (MRI) equipment...)
> Falling due to unexpected restriction of the product's range of motion caused by metallic
objects adhering to the magnetised components.
> Irreparable damage to the product due to the effect of strong magnetic fields.
► Take off the product before entering a room or area with strong magnetic fields and store the
product outside this room or area.
► Damage to the product caused by exposure to strong magnetic fields cannot be repaired.
