# Safety Instructions

All instructions must be read and observed. The safeguards integrated into the measuring tool may be compromised if the measuring tool is not used in accordance with these instructions. STORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

- Have the measuring tool repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained.

- Do not use the measuring tool in explosive atmospheres which contain flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks may be produced inside the measuring tool, which can ignite dust or fumes.

- Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight as well as from extreme temperatures or fluctuations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for extended periods of time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or fluctuations in temperature.

- When operating the measuring tool, loud signal tones may sound under certain circumstances. For this reason, keep the measuring tool away from your ears and from other persons. The loud sound can damage hearing.

| Keep the magnet away from implants and other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnet generates a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices.

- Keep the measuring tool away from magnetic storage media and magnetically-sensitive devices. The effect of the magnets can lead to irreversible data loss.

- The measuring tool is equipped with a wireless interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aeroplanes or hospitals, must be observed.
