Warnung

Betreiben Sie die UV-Lampe zum Schutz vor unbeabsichtigter ultravioletter 
Strahlung nicht außerhalb des schützenden Gehäuses.

Warnung

Achten Sie beim Warten von Teilen im Analysegerät darauf, dass Ihre Hände nicht 
mit der Reagenzienspritze in Berührung kommen, wenn der Analyser eingeschaltet 
ist. Die Spritzen werden von beweglichen Teilen gesteuert, die die Haut verletzen 
können.

Warnung

Dies ist ein Produkt der Sicherheitsstufe I. Es muss an eine geerdete Stromquelle 
angeschlossen werden.

Warnung

Wenn dieses Instrument in einer Art und Weise verwendet wird, die nicht von GE 
Analytical Instruments USA festgelegt ist, kann der durch dieses Instrument 
gebotene Schutz beeinträchtigt werden.

Warnung

Im Analysegerät werden gefährliche Reagenzien (Ammoniumsulfat und 
Phosphorsäure) verwendet. Der Abfallstrahl des Instruments ist säurehaltig und 
muss entsprechend entsorgt werden. Beachten Sie die staatlichen oder regionalen 
Vorschriften.
