Caution The PLEX-ID SP should not be kept in close proximity to
magnetic tapes, computer discs or other magnetic storage systems, such
as credit cards, as these can be damaged by the strong magnetic field of
the magnet heads.
Do not hold the magnet heads close to a PC display, since this may
cause damage to the display.
Do not use metal tools when handling the magnet heads.
Warning This product contains very strong permanent magnets.
People wearing a pacemaker or metallic prostheses should not use this
product. A pacemaker or prostheses may be affected or damaged if it
comes in close contact with a strong magnetic field.
