•
Read the entire manual carefully before using the HDM97Pocket.
•
Keep the instrument away from unauthorised persons.
•
Only use the
HDM97
Pocket as reference instrument to measure Conductivity, Temperature,
Pressure, Flow and pH depending to it's equipped features.
•
Never use the HDM97Pocket as a replacement of sensors of a medical device.
•
Do not use the HDM97Pocket in conjunction with a medical device during a treatment.
•
Only use the instrument in a dry environment and do not touch it with wet hands.
•
Make sure that no liquids intrude inside the instrument or it's inlets / outlets.

hints for reference solutions in the user manual.
•
Potentials above 42V against earth ground are dangerous. This potentials can lead to electrical
shock and therefore to health hazards. Make sure that none of the connectors has higher voltage
than mentioned before.
•
The direct connection of earth potential to any connector of the instrument is not applicable for
safety purposes and may substantially damage the instrument. Make sure that the medical device
itself is properly connected to earth ground according to its instruction manual.
•
Make sure that the instrument never heats over 60°C / 140°F. Prevent direct sunlight.
•
