Warning:
Do not use this device during defibrillation.
Interference from instruments near the patient and
ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG

During the measurement of ECG, when
interference from the mains causes distortion of the
ECG waveform, please disconnect the AC adapter
and use the battery to be the power supply.
