Preventing injuries and

CAUTION!
Patient hazard, malfunction
► Keep other medical electrical devices, e.g. high-frequency surgical
devices, a minimum distance of approx. 1 meter away to prevent
faulty measurements or wireless transmission interference.
► Keep HF devices such as cellphones at a minimum distance of ap-
prox. 1 meter to prevent faulty measurements or wireless transmis-
sion interference.
► The actual transmission output of HF devices may require minimum
distances of more than 1 meter. For details, go to www.seca.com.
WARNING!
Electric shock
► Set up devices which can be operated with a power supply unit so
that the power supply socket is within easy reach and the power
supply can be disconnected quickly.
► Ensure that your local electricity supply matches the details on the
power supply unit.
► Never touch the power supply unit with wet hands.
► Do not use extension cables and multiple outlets.
► Ensure that cables are not crushed or damaged by sharp edges.
► Ensure 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.
WARNING!
Injury from falling
► Ensure that the device is steady and level.
► Route connector cables (if present) so that neither users nor the
patient can trip over them.
► The device is not designed 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.
► Ensure that the patient does not step directly onto or off the edges
of the weighing platform.
► Ensure 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 patient has dry feet before stepping onto the
weighing platform.
► Ensure that the patient steps onto and off the weighing platform
slowly and safely.
