General Warnings and Safety Guidelines
Familiarize yourself with the following general warnings before using
your SoundGate Mic.
The SoundGate Mic is not a toy and should be kept away
from children and anyone else who might swallow parts or
otherwise cause injury to themselves. Special attention
should be paid to the smaller components in order to prevent
swallowing or choking. If a part is swallowed, see a medical
doctor immediately.
Never expose the SoundGate Mic to excessive heat, such as
putting it in an oven, microwave, burning it or leaving it inside a
parked car in the sun. There is a risk in these events that it will
explode and cause serious injury.

If by accident the neck strap should get caught on something
while the user is wearing it, the neck strap is constructed to
break automatically. Therefore, never try to shorten or modify
the neck strap in an unauthorized way. The neck strap should
not be used for children who weigh less than 11 kg (24 lbs).
The SoundGate Mic should not be used in an aircraft unless
specically permitted by the ight personnel
The SoundGate Mic is designed to comply with the most
stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic Compat-
ibility. However, the SoundGate Mic might cause interference
with other medical devices such as debrillators and pace-
makers.
·Please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device
for information about the risk of disturbance
·Immediately remove the SoundGate Mic if interference is
suspected. Do not use the SoundGate Mic and seek
advice.

Interference can also be caused by power line disturbances,
airport metal detectors, electromagnetic elds from other
medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic discharges
The safety of recharging batteries with the USB connector is
determined by the external equipment which should be UL
approved or comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60950, IEC-60601 or
other equivalent safety standards
