Cautions - Nonin WristOx2 3150 Operator's Manual

Warnings (Continued)
Only use Nonin-branded sensors with a length of 1 meter or less. Accuracy may degrade if sensor cable is over
1 meter in length. Using the sensor cable adapter does not affect accuracy.
Portable RF communications equipment such as cell phones or radios (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the ME system,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
