Improper use

DANGER!
Danger to life from explosion!
Improper use of the pressure calibrator may result in a risk of explosion, which may lead to serious injury or
death, as the built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery may explode.
▶ Do not burn or heat up the pressure calibrator.
▶ Never store the pressure calibrator close to fire, ovens or other high-temperature locations.
▶
Never put the pressure calibrator in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction hobs.
▶
Never place the pressure calibrator in hermetically sealed containers. In some cases hydrogen or oxygen may
be discharged from the lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which may result in rupture, fire or explosion.
▶
Never leave the pressure calibrator in direct sunshine or use or store them inside cars in hot weather. Doing
so may cause the lithium-ion battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the lithium-ion battery in this
manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened service life.
▶
Do not disassemble or modify the lithium-ion rechargeable battery in the pressure calibrator. It contains safety
and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause it to generate heat, explode or ignite.
DANGER!
Injuries, material and environmental damage due to an improper use of the pressure calibrator!
Improper use of the pressure calibrator causes a direct danger to life.
▶ Do not allow the pressure calibrator to come into contact with water or salt water. It must never get wet.
This can result in the destruction of the safety circuit, in heat generation, in inflammation, in the formation of
oxyhydrogen or corrosion and in the generation of electrolytes.
▶
The use of incorrect, unsuitable power supply units can lead to overheating, fire and to the destruction of the
rechargeable batteries.
▶
Do not pierce the pressure calibrator with nails or hit it with a hammer.
▶ Do not step on or otherwise subject the pressure calibrator to strong shocks or vibrations.
