NOTICE!
Damage to device
► Ensure that fluids never get inside the device. These can destroy
the electronics.
► For devices with power supply operation: Switch off the device be-
fore you disconnect the power supply unit from the power supply
socket.
► For devices with power supply operation: If the device is not to be
used for an extended period, disconnect the power supply unit
from the power supply socket. Only then is the device de-ener-
gized.
► For devices with battery or rechargeable battery operation: If you
are not using the device for an extended period of time, remove
batteries or rechargeable batteries. Only then is the device de-en-
ergized.
► Do not drop the device.
► Do not subject the device to shocks or vibrations.
► Perform a function check before each use as described in the cor-
responding section in this document. Do not operate the device if it
is not working properly or is damaged.
► Do not place the device in direct sunlight and ensure that it is not
placed in the direct proximity of a heat source. The excessive tem-
peratures could damage the electronics.
► Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. If the device is transported so
that a temperature difference of over 20 °C occurs, the device
must be left to stand for at least 2 hours before it is switched on,
otherwise condensation may form; this may damage the electron-
ics.
► Use the device only in the intended ambient conditions.
► Store the device only in the intended storage conditions.
► Use only cleaning agents and disinfectants which match the details
in the section entitled "Hygiene treatment".
► For scales: Ensure that maximum capacity is not exceeded.
WARNING!
Patient hazard
To prevent misinterpretations, measuring results for medical purposes
must only be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilograms/grams,
height: meters/centimeters). Some devices have the option of display-
ing measuring results in different units. This is purely an additional
function.
► Only use measuring results in SI units.
► The user takes sole responsibility for the use of measuring results in
non-SI units.
