Important safeguards/notices for use in the
medical environments
1. All the equipments connected to this unit shall be
certified according to Standard IEC60601-1,
IEC60950-1, IEC60065 or other IEC/ISO Standards
applicable to the equipments.
This symbol indicates the equipotential
terminal which brings the various parts of a
system to the same potential.
Warning
This unit has no power switch.
When installing the unit, incorporate a readily accessible
disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or connect the power
plug to an easily accessible socket-outlet near the unit.
If a fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate
the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or
disconnect the power plug.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
2. Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the
system standard IEC60601-1-1. Everybody who
connects additional equipment to the signal input part
or signal output part configures a medical system, and
is therefore, responsible that the system complies with
the requirements of the system standard IEC60601-1-1.
If in doubt, consult the qualified service personnel.
3. The leakage current could increase when connected to
other equipment.
4. For this particular equipment, all accessory equipment
connected as noted above, must be connected to mains
via an additional isolation transformer conforming with
the construction requirements of IEC60601-1 and
providing at least Basic Insulation.
5. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause
interference to other equipment. If this unit causes
interference (which can be determined by unplugging
the power cord from the unit), try these measures:
Relocate the unit with respect to the susceptible
equipment. Plug this unit and the susceptible
equipment into different branch circuit.
Consult your dealer. (According to standard EN60601-1-2
and CISPR11, Class B, Group 1)

Important EMC notices for use in the medical environments
• The UP-DR80MD needs special precautions regarding
EMC and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in this
instructions for use.
• The portable and mobile RF communications equipment
such as cellular phones can affect the UP-DR80MD.
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration-electromagnetic emissions
The UP-DR80MD is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of the UP-DR80MD should assure that it is used in such an environment.

Warning
The use of accessories and cables other than those
specified, with the exception of replacement parts sold by
Sony Corporation, may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the UP-DR80MD.
The UP-DR80MD uses RF energy only for its internal
function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are
not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic
equipment.
The UP-DR80MD is suitable for use in all establishments,
including domestic establishments and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage power supply network
that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Warning
If the UP-DR80MD should be used adjacent to or stacked
with other equipment, it should be observed to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be
used.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the UP-DR80MD is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the UP-DR80MD should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the UP-DR80MD.

The UP-DR80MD is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of the UP-DR80MD can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (Transmitters) and the UP-DR80MD as
recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
