Magnetic Field
Danger A The Magnetic Fields label identifies non-ionizing radiation
found in the magnet channels. Magnetic channels are
constructed with strong magnets. Strong magnets can
disrupt the functionality of automatic implantable
cardioverter defibrillators (AICD); people with a pacemaker
should not work near the magnet channels. Maintenance
personnel working near the magnet channels should avoid
the use of metallic tools and secure items such as badge clip
and other personal effects that could be attracted by the
strong magnets. Strong magnets can erase magnetic media.
Never let credit cards or electronic media contact or come
near the magnet channels.
