Before using the unit for the first time
Important
• Before you use the unit for the first time, remove all packaging materials.
• Switch the unit off immediately if it is defective or malfunctioning.
• If the self-adhesive covers for the electrode connection are missing or become detached, we recommend
urgently that you affix the electrode covers provided.

Important
• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage or injuries caused by improper or incorrect use.
• Protect the unit from dust, dirt and moisture.
• If the unit has fallen or been dropped, exposed to extreme moisture or incurred other types of damage, it must
no longer be used. Do not expose the unit to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Never open or attempt to repair the unit by yourself, as otherwise proper function is no longer guaranteed.
Failure to observe this regulation shall void the warranty.
• If you need to have the unit repaired, contact customer service or an authorised dealer.
Notes on handling batteries
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children can put batteries in their mouth and swallow them. This
can cause severe harm to their health. In this case, consult a physician immediately!
• Normal batteries must not be recharged, heated or thrown into an open flame (danger of explosion!).
• Always replace all batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type.
• Leaking batteries can damage the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for a prolonged period, remove the
batteries from the battery compartment.
• Leaky or damaged batteries can cause caustic injuries if they touch the skin. In this case, wear suitable safety
gloves.
