2.2 Safety information on
electromagnetic compatibility
This product was successfully tested to international standards for its
electromagnetic compatibility. However, electromagnetic fields such as
those generated by radio and television transmitters, radio equipment
and mobile telephones, can influence the operation of products with
electrical drives. The electronics used in this product can also cause
weak electromagnetic interference but this lies below the statutory
limits. You should therefore observe the following instructions:
CAUTION Electromagnetic interference
Electromagnetic interference could cause the bath lift to stop
suddenly or (though this is extremely unlikely) to start moving
of its own accord.
▸Switch off the external device and/or your bath lift if you
notice such behavior.
▸If other electrically operated medical products cause a inter-
ference or are themselves disrupted, switch off the bath lift
and contact your retailer.
