company. Re-use may only be carried out after appropriate inspection and
cleaning / disinfection.
3.2 Cleaning
Before equipment cleaning and maintenance note:
· Disconnect the device from the power supply before cleaning. · Use a
slightly damp (not wet) cloth and a cleaning / disinfectant
agent intended for monitors and computers. · Do not allow any liquids to enter
the device.
3.3 Safety information

with a pacemaker. If the magnet gets too close, its magnetic field can
interfere with the operation of the pacemaker.
· If the product is moved from the cold into a warm room, condensation
(moisture) can form inside the unit or on the camera lens. To prevent problems

Ergonomics
It is important that the workplace around your system is comfortable, and that
you sit correctly. This is so that you can use it for as long as possible
without putting undue strain and stress on your neck and back.
You should bear the following in mind.
· Your chair should be positioned close to the table on which the equipment is
located, and you should not sit in the chair for too long. We recommend a good
office chair with adjustable height.
· The seat of the chair should be at a height that does not cause your legs to
become numb; legs should be at an angle of 90 degrees and you should rest your
feet on the floor.
· The table should be at a height at which you can rest your lower arm
horizontally on it. It is important that the table is neither too high nor too
low for you. The ideal solution is if the screen is slightly below eye level
and in as straight a line in front of you as possible.
· Shield out daylight. Lights in the ceiling, table lamps and light from
windows can cause reflections on the monitor. For this reason, avoid placing
lights where they shine directly at the screen or at yourself.
· If you use the device for long periods of time, there is a risk of repeated
movements causing you pain in your neck, shoulders and back. Your eyes can
also get tired from looking at a screen for too long.
