WARNING

Electric shock from electrical potential

Risk of injury by touching live components or through moisture on live
parts.

￭

Never open the housing of the instrument while the power cord is
still connected.

￭

Protect live parts (e.g. power supply unit, power cord, connecting
socket) from moisture.

￭

Unplug the power plug immediately if you suspect that moisture has
gotten inside the instrument.

￭

Only personnel who have been issued Metrohm qualification may
perform service and repair work on electrical and electronic parts.
