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 outlined in
the section entitled "Technical data".
► Store the device only in the intended storage conditions outlined in
the section entitled "Technical data".
► 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.
NOTICE!
Inconsistent measuring results
► Before you save and continue using measured values determined
using this device (e.g. in seca software or in an EMR system), en-
sure that the measured values are plausible.
► If measured values have been sent to seca software or to an EMR
system, ensure before continuing to use them that the measured
values are plausible and assigned to the correct patient.
