Important Safety Instructions ··· v
Important Safety Instructions
The Vocera badge (including its battery component) and the
Vocera battery charger are electronic devices. Care appropriate to
the use of any electronic device should be taken in using the
badge and the battery charger in order to avoid possible injury
(such as from shock) and damage (such as from fire).
In addition, the Vocera badge is a wireless communication device
and works by generating radio frequency (RF) signals. These sig-
nals, although generally lower in strength than a typical cell
phone, can interfere with other electronic devices that are not
appropriately shielded against RF. If the Vocera badge will be
used in proximity to sensitive electronic devices for which inter-
ference could result in serious consequences (for example, a
heart pacemaker), you must consult with the manufacturer of
that device in order to determine the operating safety of the
Vocera badge.
In order to foster comfortable use of the badge and avoid
damage to hearing, do not bring the speaker within close
proximity of the ear while the badge is powered on.
References below to the “badge” refer to the Vocera badge,
including its battery component. References to the “product”
refer to the badge and the Vocera battery charger.
In addition to other basic safety precautions appropriate to the
use of electronic, wireless devices, please follow the safety and
use instructions below.
Badge and Battery Charger Safety
1. Read, understand, and follow all warnings and instructions in the
product documentation and on the product itself.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble any part of
the product. Take the badge or charger to qualified service person-
nel when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incor-
rect reassembly can cause electric shock when you use the product
again.
