Safety precautions
CAUTION
Reagents are formulated exclusively for chemical analysis and must not be used for
any other purpose. Reagents must not get into the hands of children. Some of the
reagents contain substances which are not entirely harmless environmentally. Be
aware of the ingredients and take proper care when disposing of the test solution.
CAUTION
Please read this instruction manual before unpacking, setting up or using the
photometer. Please read the method description completely before performing
the test. Be aware of the risks of using the required reagents by reading the MSDS
(Material Safety Data Sheets). Failure could result in serious injury to the operator or
damage to the instrument.
