The base of the SIMEOX housing incorporates openings intended to aerate the device and to evacuate any condensed moisture. At home in particular, make sure that no objects, especially metal objects such as staples, paperclips, etc. are introduced into the housing through these openings. Although the live parts cannot be accessed through these openings, a small object could remain stuck in the device and cause a short-circuit.

The wrist strap supplied is intended to ensure that the remote control is held securely at the wrist during treatment sessions, preventing it from being dropped. It is not pre-installed. The user is free to install it if he chooses, depending on the estimated contamination risk.

Keep the power cord away from all hot surfaces: the heat could degrade the protective sheath and cause a failure, or a risk of electric shock.

Do not position SIMEOX in such a way that it is difficult to use the disconnection device (the male mains plug).
