Safety information
WARNING
Connection of power to the flow7 TAB A series products must only be through an approved
DC power supply, in conjunction with regional safety regulations. The supply output must
be isolated and overload protected, and the output not exceeding 5 Volts.
WARNING
The flow7 TAB A series frame contains NiCuNi coated Neodymium magnets with a pull
strength of 2.1kg each. DO NOT remove the magnets from the flow7 frame. Please also
observe the following safety information:
●Neodymium magnets can jump together, pinch the skin and cause serious
injuries.
●Neodymium magnets will leap and slam together from several inches to
several feet apart. If you have a finger in the way, it can get severely pinched or
even broken.
●Keep neodymium magnets away from all children. Neodymium magnets are not
toys. Do not allow children to handle or play with them. Small magnets can pose a
serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attach to each
other through intestinal walls causing serious injuries and even death.
●Keep neodymium magnets away from anyone with a pacemaker. Neodymium
magnets create strong magnetic fields around them, which can interfere with
pacemakers, ICDs and other implanted medical devices. This is because many of
these devices are made with a feature that deactivates the device in a magnetic
field.
●For more information refer to the safety guide for handling of Neodymium magnets
