fasteners integrated in the chest belt.
5.3 Applying the 1-Channel Transmitter and Adapter
WARNING Remove transmitter from patient before battery replacement
Electric shocks or malfunction of the 1-channel transmitter may result from contact with conduc-
tive materials.
It is not permitted to replace the battery of the 1-channel transmitter while the transmitter is
applied to the patient.
Replace the battery according to the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION Insufficient ECG transmission quality
If the 1-channel transmitter is not properly applied, the ECG data may be incorrect or missing,
which may lead to inadequate therapy and/or over-exertion.
Check the 1-channel transmitter for correct application to the chest belt or adapter and patient
according to the instructions in this manual.
NOTICE Mechanical impact
The 1-channel transmitter may be damaged if exposed to strong mechanical impact (dropping
onto the floor, shocks).
When attaching and removing the transmitter or replacing the battery, take care not to damage
the battery. Instructions for proper handling are given in this manual.
NOTICE The protection rating applies only if the following conditions are met
IP42 applies only when the battery cover of the 1-channel transmitter is closed. Before starting
a recording and before cleaning and disinfecting the device, make sure that the battery compart-
ment is properly closed.
WARNING Risk of strangulation
Risk of strangulation by adapter neckband.
Use the adapter only in the presence of the primary user and according to the instructions in this
manual.
CAUTION Insufficient ECG transmission quality
If the adapter is not properly applied, the ECG data may be incorrect or missing, which may lead to
inadequate therapy and/or over-exertion.
Check the 1-channel transmitter for correct application to the adapter and patient according to
the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION Wrong ECG electrodes
Using the wrong ECG electrodes may adversely affect the ECG transmission quality.
The 1-channel transmitter must only be used with commercially available ECG electrodes for exer-
cise testing and according to the instructions of the ECG electrode manufacturer.
