designed to minimize interference through smart hopping. Sources of
interference that may be a problem include failing fluorescent lights and
construction equipment. See “Electromagnetic Compatibility” on page 12-5.
WarningWarning
Place the transceiver in a pouch or over clothing, or both, during patient
use. The transceiver should not touch the patient’s skin during use.
