Limited functionality of the AlphaTrainer home version:
This manual describes both versions of the AlphaTrainer – home and professional. In part, the Al-
phaTrainer home functionality is limited in comparison to the professional version. Such differences
are clearly pointed out in this manual.
If you use an AlphaTrainer Home and you also want to have access to the additional functions of the Alpha-
Trainer Professional, please get in contact with the MediTECH or your domestic MediTECH representative.
Your device can be upgraded to become an AlphaTrainer Professional. We will gladly assist you in the
process.
Recommended: Service contracts for the AlphaTrainer and MediTOOLs
When using the AlphaTrainer professionally, we strongly recommend a service contract for both hardware
and software. This contract includes:
• Annual examination of the AlphaTrainer and its accessories.
• Extensive endurance test.
• Cleaning of the both the AlphaTrainer and its accessories.
• Necessary repairs free of charge within a two-year period after purchase.
• After two years: Replacement parts costs only, all labor costs are included..
• Guaranteed short service periods with pre-scheduled service appointments
• Written estimate of costs prior to repairs if value exceeds 50 Euro.
Within given periods of time, the functionality of the AlphaTrainer is enhanced and extended, based on
user requirements and research results. Customers with full service contracts for hard- and software can
receive such updates.
Important:
It is strongly recommended to ensure an annual service examination of your AlphaTrainer by the
manufacturer.
