Radio Transmitter Frequency: 916.5 MHz
Maximum Radio Transmitter Power: 0 dBi EIRP
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): The
Contour
®
next LINK meter complies with
the electromagnetic requirement specified in
ISO15197:2013. Electromagnetic emissions are
low and unlikely to interfere with other nearby
electronic equipment, nor are emissions from nearby
electronic equipment likely to interfere with the
Contour
®
nextLINK meter. The Contour next LInK
meter meets the requirements of IEC61000-4-2 for
immunity to electrostatic discharge. Avoid use of
electronic devices in very dry environments, especially if
synthetic materials are present. The Contour next LInK
meter meets the requirements of IEC61326-1 for
radio frequency interference. To avoid radio frequency
interference, do not use the Contour next LInK meter
near electrical or electronic equipment that are sources of
electromagnetic radiation, as these may interfere with the
proper operation of the meter.
Caring for Your Meter
• CAUTION: Only connect to a computer or charger
that is certified to UL 60950-1, 5V maximum.
A charging current of 500 mA minimum is required.
• If you use a cable, use the one provided in your
meter kit.
• Store your meter in the carrying case provided
whenever possible.
• Wash hands and dry them well before handling to
keep the meter and test strips free of oils and other
contaminants.
• Handle the meter carefully to avoid damaging the
electronics or causing other malfunctions.
• Avoid exposing meter and test strips to excessive
humidity, heat, cold, dust, or dirt.
