WARNING!
Electric shock
► Set up the device so that the power supply socket is easy to reach
and the device can be disconnected from the power supply quickly.
► Ensure that your local power supply matches the information on the
power supply unit.
► Do not touch the power supply unit with wet hands.
► Do not use extension cables or power strips.
► Make sure that cables are not pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
► Make sure that cables do not come into contact with hot objects.
► Do not operate the device at an altitude of more than 3000 m above
sea level.
► Only devices which are approved as medical devices and have no
separate power supply may be connected to the USB interface.
WARNING!
Injury from device falling over
The device is intended as a mobile medical device and is therefore not
anchored firmly to a wall or the floor. Device combinations with a
standing aid or measuring rod can fall over if used improperly (e.g. as
a "climbing frame").
► Do not leave children or persons with mental or motor impairments
unsupervised.
► Do not leave pets unsupervised.
WARNING!
Injury from falls
► Ensure that the device is positioned firmly and level.
► Route connecting cables (if present) in such a way that neither user
nor patient can trip over them.
► The device is not intended for supporting patients when getting up
e.g. from a wheelchair. Assist people with limited motor skills when
they are getting up, e.g. from a wheelchair.
► Make sure that the patient does not step onto and off the weighing
platform right at the edges.
► Make sure that the patient steps onto and off the weighing platform
slowly and safely.
WARNING!
Danger of slipping
► Ensure that the weighing platform is dry before the patient steps
onto it.
► Ensure that the patients feet are dry before he or she steps onto the
weighing platform.
► Make sure that the patient steps onto and off the weighing platform
slowly and safely.
CAUTION!
Hazard to patient, damage to device
The area where the patient stands consists of a glass plate. Damage
to the glass plate, e.g. as a result of scratches, cracks and chips,
presents a risk of injury and can lead to the glass plate breaking.
► Do not put any sharp-edged objects on the glass plate.
► Before using the device each time, check the glass plate for
scratches, cracks and chips. If you find damage of this kind, have
the glass plate replaced with a new one.
► Do not use the device if the glass plate is damaged.
