Protection of unit

Improper installation, operation or maintenance of the short-wave thera-
py unit may result in malfunctions of this unit or other devices!
Therefore, observe the following instructions in order to prevent mal-
functions:

In order to prevent electromagnetic disturbances, place the unit at least
6 meters from any other devices! Also make sure that there is sufficient
distance between the unit and power supply or data cables in walls,
ceilings and floors, since the electromagnetic radiation from the unit
can pass these essentially without hindrance!
In selecting the location for the unit, make sure that the patient has
contact during the treatment to the non-earthed application element
and, due to equalizing currents in case of differing potentials, that the
patient is never in contact with metal elements (especially if they are
earthed), such as heating radiators, metal beds or other earthed de-
vices!

Before connecting the unit, make sure that
–
the voltage selected by the voltage selector corresponds to the available
system voltage,
–
the frequency rating on the rating plate corresponds to the system fre-
quency,
–
an earthed (!) socket outlet with earthing contact is available for connect-
ing the unit,
–
the routing of the power cable from the unit to the socket outlet with
earthing contact does not pose a danger for personnel or the patient
the building's power supply is designed for the comparatively high (pos-
–
sibly additional) power input of the unit (~ 1500 VA) and the line is suffi-
ciently protected in accordance with regulations!
Do not connect the unit to the power supply until these requirements
have been fulfilled!

Before putting the unit into operation, check to make sure that the elec-
trode connection cable and the electrodes are undamaged and have
been connected correctly to the unit!
Never operate the unit with open outputs (i.e. without electrodes)!
The device should neither be placed in front of heating radiators nor
should it be covered by pillows or blankets while in operation. The device
is not made for outdoor operation.
