should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be
used.
• Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warning symbol should not be touched.
Connections should not be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary
procedures are used. For details, see section “1.2.2. ESD precautionary procedures”
• After transferring or reinstalling the monitor, always check that it is properly connected and
all parts are securely attached. Pay special attention to this in case of stacked mounting.
• Do not use the monitor in high electromagnetic fields (for example, during MRI.)
• Never install the monitor or the displays so that they are above the patient.
