for future storage or shipment of the equipment. Only the
original packaging provides the best protection for shipment.
$ Allowable storage temperature: –20°C to +75°C (–4°F to +167°F)

Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe operation is no longer
warranted; for example:
– If there is visible damage to the connecting cable,
– If the equipment no longer functions properly,
– If the equipment has been stored for a relatively long period
under unfavorable conditions,
– If the equipment has been subjected to rough handling during
shipment,
§ Make sure all warnings and safety precautions are observed, and
notify your nearest Sartorius Service Center or the International
Technical Support Unit based in Goettingen, Germany. Mainte-
nance and repair work may be performed only by authorized
Sartorius service technicians who have access to the required
maintenance manuals and have received the necessary training.
!The seals affixed to this equipment indicate that only authorized
service technicians are allowed to open the equipment and per-
form maintenance work so that safe and trouble-free operation
of the equipment is ensured and the warranty remains in effect.
In Germany and many other countries (see www.sartorius.com,
> Services > Downloads for details), Sartorius AG or the organi-
zation contracted by us takes care of the return and legally
compliant disposal of its electrical and electronic equipment
on its own.
In countries that are not members of the European Economic
Area (EEA) or where no Sartorius subsidiaries or dealerships are
located, please contact your local authorities or a commercial
disposal operator.
These products may not be placed with the household waste
or brought to collection centers run by local public disposal
operations – not even by small commercial operators.
For disposal in Germany and in the other member nations
of the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact our service
technicians on location or our Service Center in Goettingen,
Germany:

Prior to disposal and/or scrapping of the equipment, any batter-
ies should be removed and disposed of in local collection boxes.
Sartorius AG will not take back equipment contaminated with
hazardous materials (ABC contamination) – either for repair or
disposal.
Please refer to the accompanying leaflet/manual or visit our
Internet website (www.sartorius.com) for comprehensive infor-
mation that includes our service addresses to contact if you plan
to send your equipment in for repairs.
If you no longer need the packaging after successful installation
of the equipment, you should return it for recycling. The pack-
aging is made from environmentally friendly materials and is
a valuable source of secondary raw material.
The equipment, including accessories and
batteries, does not belong in your regular
household waste.
