Electromagnetic Information:
Portable and RF communication devices such as cellular phones, pagers, etc. can interrupt operation of electrical
medical equipment. For this reason, your compressor must be placed far enough away from these devices to prevent
interference. This device meets IEC60601-1-2 standard for electromagnetic compatability (EMC).
