ThisproducthasbeentestedtoconrmcompliancewiththeappropriateEMCstandardsac-
cording to CISPR 11, Class B.
Mostelectronicequipmentisinuencedbyradiofrequencyinterference(RFI).Cautionshould
be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such
equipment. While Burke has made every effort to ensure that RFI does not cause problems, very
strong signals could cause a movement of a section of the bed. Such movement would be of very
short duration and travel.
Itistheresponsibilityofthehealthcareprovidertoconrmthatcellphonesandotherportable
communications devices will not cause erratic behavior of other equipment. In the event that RFI does
cause erratic behavior, turn off the communications device as soon as possible. For maximum safety do
not operate the affected equipment until the source of the interference is removed. Report any malfunc-
tionstoqualiedservicepersonnel.
