CAUTION!
Injury from device falling over
► Ensure that you have a firm hold of the device when transporting it.
4. Tilt the device until it can be moved freely on the casters.
5. Move the device slowly and carefully over door sills.
6. Transport the device to its new setup location.
CAUTION!
Incorrect measurement as a result of incorrect setup location and
incorrect ambient conditions
Soft floors such as wooden hallways, for example, give under the
patient's weight and falsify the measuring result. Incorrect ambient
conditions lead to measurement errors.
► Select a setup location with a level, stable floor in order to achieve
precise measuring results.
► Use the device only in the intended ambient conditions
