13. EMC INFORMATION
THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according
to the EMC provided in these Instructions for use. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect this ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT. Warning: Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas)
should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Penguin Nutritional Warmer, including cables specified by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result. Warning: Use of accessories, transducers
and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation. Warning: Use of this
equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is
necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.

The Ameda Penguin Warmer is intended for use in the
electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of the Ameda Penguin Warmer should
assure that it is used in such an environment.
RF emissions CISPR 11 The Ameda Penguin Warmer uses RF energy only for its internal func-
tion. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause
any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
The Ameda Penguin Warmer is suitable for use in all establishments,
including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the
public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used
for domestic purposes.
