Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measurements
and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:

temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– Do not drop the device.
– Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electro-
magnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems or
mobile telephones.

replacement parts. Otherwise incorrect measurements
will be recorded.

will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
