10. Notes on Safety and Risks

This chapter is intended to enable owners and operators of the MR76 to recognize all usage-related risks
in good time, i.e. in advance wherever possible.
The MR76 was developed for use in automobiles. Users must be in possession of basic technical
knowledge, and it is assumed that this is the case. The device should only be used by trained operators.
The person or owner responsible for the device must ensure that all operators understand and observe
these safety notes. If the MR76 is part of a system, the system manufacturer is responsible for ensuring
that the safety-related aspects are heeded, e.g. the operating manual, labeling and instructions.

10.1 Areas of responsibility

(1)Scope of responsibility of the manufacturer regarding the original device or equipment: Hunan
Nanoradar Science &Technology Co., Ltd is responsible for supplying the device, including the short
description and the original accessories, in a technically safe and sound condition.
