 I. Important Safety Rules
Warning: This product is precision manufactured, finely assembled and

Contents wired, so do not disassemble or attempt to repair. All repairs must be

carried out by qualified personnel at authorized repair centers.

I. Danger: Reduces the Risk of Electric Shock

I. Important Safety Rules ................................................01
1. Cut off the power immediately after each use.
II. Product Features ........................................................02 2. Immediately cut off the power when the machine falls into water rather
than reach for it.
III. Installing and Commissioning ................................03 3. Do not place or store the machine where water or other liquid is easy to
drip.
IV. Application and Maintenance ....................................06
4. Do not touch the machine when it is wet.
5. Do not disassemble the machine. Services shall be performed by quali-

fied service personnel.
VI. EMC Instruction ........................................................11 6. Regularly check the electrical safety index of the machine.

II. Warning: Reduce the Risk of Burns, Electric Shocks, Fire or Personal Injury
1. When the machine is powered on, it shall not be left unattended.
2. Timely monitor the products when they are used by children or individu-
als.
3. This manual only describes the usage of the product. Do not use acces-
sories other than the manufacturer's recommendation. This will reduce the
performance of the machine.
4. Please do not use the machine and return it to the service center for
inspection and repair when the following situations occur: The power cord
or plug is damaged, the machine can't work properly, the machine has been
dropped or destroyed, the machine falls into the water and so on.
5. Keep the power cord away from the surface of heating or heating equip-
ment.
6. Do not block the air vent of the product. Avoid soft cloth, nap and other
similar things in the vent.
7. Do not drop or insert any substance at the orifice of the machine.
8. It should be noted that excessive negative pressure may cause harm to
human body.

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF

communications equipment and the 7E-A/7E-B
The portable phlegm suction unit 7E-A/7E-B is intended to operate in an
electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of 7E-A/7E-B can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by keeping a minimum distance between the portable and mobile
RF communication devices (transmitters) and 7E-A/7E-B as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
