Switch off the breast pump with .
Close the bottle with a lid. Follow the instructions in Section 4 “Storing and thawing breast milk”. Use bottle stand to prevent the bottle from tipping over.
Unplug breast pump from power source.
• Only fill the bottle to the 150 mL mark. • Swing switches off automatically 30 minutes after last setting adjustment. Info • How often should you pump?
A breast pump is a replacement for when you are separated from your baby. It is important to pump when the baby would be breastfeeding, which usually means a working mother pumps 2-3 times during an 8 hour working day. • How long should your pumping session last? Pumping times can vary from mother to mother sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes up to 30 minutes. • How should your breasts feel after pumping? After pumping, your breasts should feel soft and there should be no firm areas. Before pumping, your breasts will have a firm, heavy feeling. After pumping make sure your breasts are not firm or have lumpy areas. This could indicate that the breast is not draining all over. See Section 6 for more information.

6. Supplemental Information
7. EMC / Technical Description
Supplemental Information
The Swing breast pump needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the instructions for use. Portable and mobile RF communications can affect the breast pump.
Following are some common breastfeeding related conditions. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact a healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist.
Engorgement
Symptom
Potential Causes
Breasts are hard and uncomfortable, possibly with reddened areas.
Milk not draining properly from breast. Milk can drain back into the tissue causing areas to swell and become tender.
Blocked/Plugged Area of breast will look reddened and may Ducts be tender to touch.
Mastitis
It often follows on from engorgement but can just occur suddenly. The initial symptoms are similar to flu – fatigue, headache and muscle aches, fever and localized breast tenderness. It can be in one or even both breasts and needs immediate treatment.
Milk not being drained from a specific duct. The area becomes ‘clogged’ up and milk is then prevented from flowing. A bacterial infection in the breast tissue which is often accompanied by cracked nipples.
A Healthcare Professional or Breastfeeding Specialist can give you guidance in breastfeeding your baby and using a breast pump. Their guidance is valuable in terms of the lifetime of health benefits for both you and your baby.

It may be necessary to position the breast pump further from sources of power frequency magnetic fields or to install magnetic shielding. The power frequency magnetic field should be measured in the intended installation location to assure that it is sufficiently low.
NOTE U T is the a.c. mains voltage prior to application of the test level.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the breast pump, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Recommend separation distance d = 1,2√P d = 1,2√P 80 MHz - 800 MHz d = 2,3√P 800 MHz - 2.7 GHz Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.

7. EMC/Technical Description (cont.) Note 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. Note 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. 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 breast pump is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the breast pump should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the breast pump. b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m. a
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the breast pump This Swing electric breast pump is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the electric breast pump can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the electric breast pump as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer. Note 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. Note 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. WARNING: Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the breast pump including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
