Information to User 
WARNING 
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a CLASS B digital 
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and 
used in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful 
interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. 
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, then the user is encouraged to try to 
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 
 
• 
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna 
• 
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver 
• 
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver 
• 
Consult the dealer or an experienced audio television technician 
 
NOTE:  Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with the CLASS B 
requirement or using an unshielded peripheral data cable could also result in harmful 
interference to radio or television reception. 
Any changes or modifications to the device that are not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 
To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is necessary to 
use shielded I/O cables. 
Overview 
The DT-4500 Ambulatory Transceiver provides two-way wireless communication 
between analog ECG circuitry and the hospital’s data distribution network. The DT-
4500 is connected to the patient through the ECG lead circuitry and is carried on the 
patient in a gown or disposable paper pouch. The ambulatory transceiver converts the 
analog ECG patient parameters to a digital format, which is then transmitted to an 
Access Point transceiver. The Access Point transceiver distributes the digital data to 
the hospital’s data distribution network. The transceiver system includes 6 ECG 
leads, accurate waveform notification, data port activity, notification of radio 
frequency (RF) link to Access Point, battery status, attendant present switch, nurse 
call switch, and two I/O ports for attachment to external medical devices. 
Equipment Site Selection/Location 
The transceiver is worn by the patient and is carried either in a gown pocket or 
disposable paper pouch. The typical orientation is against the chest with the front 
facing out, which minimizes body attenuation losses.
