General warnings and precautions

 When you use a new vial of strips, you may need to establish a WiFi

connection to the Internet so that the latest test strip calibration data can

be downloaded (see Page 8). You will need to download calibration data

every 3 months or so to stay up to date with the test strips we produce.

 Always follow the safety procedures and precautions listed here and

throughout this user guide.

 When connecting the analyzer to external devices (such as USB power

sources), ensure those devices are in compliance with local safety

regulations

 The power supply that comes with your analyzer is for indoor use only

 Only use Sentia™ sulfur dioxide test strips

 Always store Sentia™ test strips in a refrigerator – between 2 °C and

8 °C (35.6 °F and 46.4 °F)

 Always close the vial lid after a strip has been taken out

must be treated with care:

performing adequately, contact Customer Support (see Page 38)

o Do not place the analyzer near a heat source or in a hot

environment (e.g. an automobile parked in the sun)
