and in reporting the presence of a heating sensation which is the only
indication of an adequate or excessive dose.
•is pregnant. If the device operator is pregnant, she should remain at least 5
meters away from the applicator when the unit is turned on, since the effects
of high-frequency fields on a fetus have not yet been sufficiently researched.
