Please read this user manual carefully prior to installation, use, and maintenance for your own safety and in order to avoid damages to your system.

General Information

Important notes on the operation of the reading system mezzo EDU!
Please read them carefully prior to the operation of the reading system!

Notes on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

This reading system is suited for use in all set-ups including the domicile that is connected directly to a public power supply for buildings with residential purposes. This reading system is designed for use in the indicated electromagnetic environment. The user should ensure the use in the indicated environment.
This reading system operates on HF-Energy exclusively for its own function. Therefore the emitted interference of high-frequency disturbances is very low and the interference with other appliances operated close-by is improbable. When operating the reading system simultaneously with other systems, however, the possibility of disturbances of the system or other systems should not be neglected.
For this reason, it should be ensured that the system is not placed directly beside or on top of another system. If the set-up of this system in the proximity of medical, measuring devices cannot be avoided, the operator of these devices has to be informed that it is necessary to observe the performance of the system to control the conventional use of the system in the chosen set-up.
Electronic devices are sensitive to electric discharge and high-frequency electromagnetic fields.
Attention: In order to avoid high-frequency disturbances the operator should respect a minimum distance of one meter to portable and mobile HF- telecommunication devices.
Please also see chapter: Safety advice (page 7).

Storage of the user manual

The user manual is an essential part of your reading system. Please keep the booklet in a safe place for future reference.
