product safety and operating instructions.
• The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation
of six inches be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. The DreamStation Cellular Modem should be
considered a wireless phone in this regard.
• If you use any other personal critical medical device, such as a pacemaker, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it can co-exist in close proximity with our

this information.

adjust to room temperature before beginning the installation procedure.
• Pins of connectors should not be touched. Connections should not be made to these

humidification, conductive floor coverings, non-synthetic clothing), discharging one's body
to the frame of the equipment or system or to earth or a large metal object, and bonding
oneself by means of a wrist strap to the equipment or system or to earth.
