2.3 Handling batteries and battery packs

NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
Before you electronically save measured values determined using
►
this device and use them further (e.g. in seca PC software or in a
hospital information system), make sure that the measured values
are plausible.
► If measured values are transmitted to seca PC software or a hospital
information system, make sure prior to further use that the
measured values are plausible and are assigned to the correct
patient.
WARNING!
Risk of suffocation
Packaging material made of plastic foil (bags) is a choking hazard.
Keep packaging material out of reach of children.
►
► In the event that the original packing material may not be available
anymore, only use plastic bags with security holes in order to reduce
the risk of suffocation. Use recyclable materials if possible.
NOTE
Keep the original packing material for future use (e.g. returning for
servicing).
seca devices are supplied with a rechargeable battery pack or with batteries
depending on model. Heed the following safety instructions.
WARNING!
Personal injury as a result of improper handling
Batteries and rechargeable batteries contain harmful substances
which may explode if not handled properly.

►
If acid is leaking out, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous
►

seek medical help at once.
NOTICE!
Damage to device and malfunctions with improper handling
Only use the type of (rechargeable) battery specified in this
►

When replacing (rechargeable) batteries, always replace a complete
►
set at a time.
