NOTICE!
Damage to device
► Ensure that no liquids enter the device. They can damage the
electronics.
Switch off the device before disconnecting the power supply unit
►
from the mains socket.
► For devices with power supply operation: Disconnect the power
supply unit from the mains socket if you intend to not use the device
for a longer period of time. Only this way it can be ensured that the
device is de-energized.
For devices with battery or rechargeable battery operation: If you do
►
not use the device for an extended period of time, remove batteries
or rechargeable batteries. Only this way it can be ensured that the
device is de-energized.
Make sure not to drop the device.
►
► Do not expose the device to any impacts or vibrations.
Perform function controls regularly as described in the relevant
►
section in this document. Do not operate the device if it is damaged
or not working properly.
► Ensure that there is no heat source in the immediate vicinity. Do not
expose to direct sunlight. The excessive temperature could damage
the electronics.
Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. When the device is
►
transported so that a temperature difference of more than 20 °C
occurs, it must stay turned off for at least 2 hours before it can be
turned on again. Otherwise, condensation water will form which can
damage the electronics.
Use the device only in intended ambient conditions.
►
► Store the device only in the intended storage conditions.
Use only chlorine and alcohol-free disinfectants which are explicitly
►
suitable for acrylic sheet and other sensitive surfaces (active
ingredient: quaternary ammonium compounds, for example).
► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
Do not use organic solvents (e.g. white spirit or petroleum spirit).

WARNING!
Patient hazard
This device is no diagnostic device. It simply assists the treating phy-
sician in establishing a diagnosis.
► In order to make a precise diagnosis and initiate therapeutic
measures, besides determination of the weight, further targeted
examinations must be set up by the physician, and their results must
be considered.
The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment lies with the treating
►
physician.
CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, measuring results for medical use
must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: kilogrammes, length:
metres) only. Some devices offer the ability to display measuring
results in other units. This is only an additional function.
Use the results exclusively in SI units.
►
The use of measuring results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility
►
of the user.
