WARNING:

The wireless USB dongle is a radio transmitter designed for use as a

mobile device as defined by the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC). Do not place the transmitter on a patient’s or user’s body. Ensure

that the transmitter is located at least 20 cm (8 in) from a patient’s or

user’s body. Locating the transmitter closer than 20 cm (8 in) to a

person’s body voids the user’s FCC authority to operate the equipment.

Caution:

Operating the wireless USB dongle without a regulatory label or the

correct country stamp is illegal. See the documentation from the

manufacturer of the wireless USB dongle.

To avoid damage to the wireless USB dongle when using the MDSm or

MDS Lite II, remove or insert the USB dongle only when the system is in

the stand.

For environmental operating and storage specifications, see the

operating instructions from the router manufacturer.
