Philips HearLink CROS MNR T R Instructions For Use Manual page 33

Explosives
The transmitter is safe to use under
normal usage conditions. The transmitter
has not been tested for compliance with
international standards concerning explosive
environments.
Therefore, do not use transmitter in
environments with danger of explosions e.g.
mines, oxygen rich environments or areas
where flammable anaesthetics are handled.
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your
transmitter may stop working without notice.
Keep this in mind when you depend on
warning sounds (e.g. when you are in traffic).
The transmitter may stop functioning, for
instance if the batteries have expired.
Active implants
The transmitter has been thoroughly
tested and characterised for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specific Absorption Ratio
- SAR), induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
international accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined in the
standards for human health and coexistence
with active medical implants, such as
pacemakers and heart defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant, contact
the manufacturer of your implantable device
for information about the risk of disturbance.
The MultiTool which has a built-in magnet
should be kept more than 30 centimetres
(1 foot) away from the implant, e.g. do not
carry it in your breast pocket.
Follow the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers regarding their use with
magnets.
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy, and surgery.
Remove your transmitter before X-ray
examinations and CT/MR/PET scans,
electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your
transmitter may be damaged when exposed
to strong electromagnetic fields.
