When the batteries are depleted, they must not be thrown
in the household waste. Used batteries may contain harmful
substances that can cause damage to the environment or health.
Please return batteries / rechargeable batteries to the store or to
the buyback centre. The return is free of charge und mandatory
by law. Please throw only depleted batteries into the containers
and tape over the poles of lithium batteries. For battery exchange
only pull off the battery compartment cover and change the
depleted batteries for new ones. Mind the polarity: The negatives
poles of the batteries are in contact with the springs in the battery
trough. Slide the battery compartment cover over the casing until
it snaps in. All batteries and rechargeable batteries will be recy-
cled. This way, precious resources like iron, zinc and nickel are
gathered. Battery recycling is the easiest lesson in environmental.

must not be thrown into the household waste. The signs below

Calibration:
To maintain the accuracy of the ACE AF-33, you can send the
device for a calibration to ACE Technik. The calibration is not
mandatory, but the accuracy of ACE AF-33 will decrease steadily
without it. Send the device with the note `Alkomat calibration ser-
vice´ to the company address stated on the invoice you received
with the device. We recommend sending it as a parcel, so that in
cases of loss an inquiry or proof of delivery is possible.
Due to changes in the product, the procedures stated can
change. This can take place without prior notice or adaptation
of the operating manual and is no cause for complaint, return or
price reduction. The user is responsible to recognise deviations
between the operating manual and the actual handling of the
ACE AF-33 and he has to react accordingly.
