Warnings and Safety Guidelines
•SoundGate is not a toy and should be kept away from
infants and small children.
•SoundGate should not be used in an aircraft unless
specifically permitted by the flight personnel.
•SoundGate should not be operated in explosive
environments such as mines.
•For safety reasons the neck strap should never be
tied together or used for children weighing less than
24 lbs/11 kg.
•Interference can also be caused by power lines
disturbances, airport metal detectors, electro-
magnetic fields from medical devices, radio signals
and electrostatic discharges.
•Although unlikely, the digital inductive signals
transmitted by the SoundGate could potentially
interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers.
As a precaution, we advise pacemaker recipients not
to carry and use the SoundGate in a breast pocket or
around the neck. In this case we recommend its use
as remote control operated from a trouser pocket or
purse.
