Warnings
• Do not move the Bioness Integrated Therapy System over obstacles on the floor or over uneven or soft
surfaces. Doing so could cause the equipment to fall causing damage and/or injury.
• Ensure Sensors are charged prior to performing Balance Therapy.
• Do not charge the Sensors while it is in use by client or user.
• Sensors must be charged using the charging block and cable provided by Bioness.
• Do not use the Bioness Integrated Therapy System near strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. MRI).
• To avoid the potential of electrical shock do not use the Bioness Integrated Therapy System near
water.
• Users of the Bioness Integrated Therapy System should exercise caution to prevent tripping hazards
during the course of therapy. Sources of such tripping hazards include power cables and the legs of
the Portable Stand. Please note that some additional falling hazards may result from use of the larger
touchscreen display monitor, as clients may be required to stretch farther to complete exercises.
• Stored Energy Hazard: The lift mechanism in the Stand Tower is under tension and will move rapidly,
on its own, as soon as attached equipment is removed. For this reason, do not remove equipment or
make adjustments to lift tension unless the touchscreen display monitor has been moved to the highest
position on the stand tower. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
• The equipment must only be connected to an earthed MAINS socket-outlet (i.e. Only plug the Bioness
Integrated Therapy System into 3 pronged grounded wall outlets.). Not doing so may result in an
increased risk of electric shock.
