Indicates a situation that, if not avoided, may cause damage to the instrument. Information that requires special emphasis.

Precautionary labels

Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to the instrument could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement.

| This symbol, if noted on the instrument, references the instruction manual for operation and/or safety information.
---|---
| This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or electrocution exists.
| This symbol indicates the presence of devices sensitive to Electro-static Discharge (ESD) and indicates that care must be taken to prevent damage to the equipment.
| Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or public disposal systems. Return old or end-of-life equipment to the manufacturer for disposal at no charge to the user.

Certification

WARNING

| Pacemaker precautions. If electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs, it can either:
• Stop the stimulating pulses from the pacemaker that control the rhythm of the heart.
• Cause the pacemaker to supply the pulses irregularly.
• Cause the pacemaker to ignore the rhythm of the heart and supply pulses at a set interval.
Current research shows that cellular devices are not a significant health problem for most pacemakers wearers. However, persons with pacemakers should use precautions to make sure that their device does not cause a problem. Keep the device a  minimum of 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the user.
CAUTION

| Electromagnetic radiation hazard. Make sure that the antenna is kept at a minimum distance of 20 cm (7.9 in.) from all personnel in normal use. The antenna cannot be colocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters.

NOTICE
This is a Class A product intended for use in an industrial environment. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

NOTICE
Network and access point security is the responsibility of the customer that uses the wireless instrument. The manufacturer will not be liable for any damages, inclusive however not limited to indirect, special, consequential, or incidental damages, that have been caused by a gap in, or breach of network security.
