Health and Safety Warnings Use of any computer input device or keyboard, including the CH Multi Function Panel, may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When using the CH Multi Function Panel, as with many other activities, you may experience occasional pain or discomfort in your fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. STOP USE IMMEDIATELY AND SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur while you are not working with the CH Multi Function Panel. Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitas, and other conditions. CHOKING HAZARD. Because they are small, the keys included with the CH Multi Function Panel present a choking hazard. The keys should always be kept out of the reach of children. ELECTRICAL MEDICAL IMPLANTS. The Radio Frequency (RF) technology used in the CH Multi Function Panel may pose health risks for people with electrical medical implants, such as PACEMAKERS, HEARING AIDS, AND OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES. Immediately unplug the CH Multi Function Panel if you have reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy, or if you have any questions. SWITCH OFF IN HOSPITALS.

However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against RF signals emanating from your CH Multi Function Panel. CONNECTING TO OTHER DEVICES.
