RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the CORE Chair is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the CORE Chair should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the CORE Chair.
