• There may be incorrect measurements where there
is cardiocirculatory disease, as well as with very low
blood pressure, circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia and
other preexisting diseases.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose wrist has
the right circumference for the instrument.
• You may only operate the blood pressure monitor with
batteries. Note that it is only possible to save data
when your blood pressure monitor is receiving power.
As soon as the batteries are dead, the date and time
on the blood pressure monitor are lost. Any meas-
urement results that have been stored are however
retained.
• The automatic switch-off function switches off the
blood pressure monitor in order to preserve the batter-
ies, if no button is pressed within one minute.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument's service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, mois-
ture, dirt, major temperature fluctuations and direct
exposure to the sun's rays.
– Never drop the device.
– Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e.
keep it away from any radio systems and mobile
phones.
– Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor
or original replacement cuffs. Otherwise erroneous
results will be recorded.
• Do not press any buttons until the cuff is in position.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we
recommend removing the batteries.
Advice on batteries
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should there-
fore store the batteries and products where they are
inaccessible to small children. If a battery has been
swallowed, call a doctor immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated with
any other means, nor should they be taken apart,
thrown in the fire or short-circuited.
• Remove the batteries from the instrument if they are
worn out or if you are not going to use the instrument
for any length of time. This prevents any damage as
a result of leakage. Always replace all the batteries at
the same time.
• Never use different types of battery, battery brands or
batteries with different capacities. You should prefer-
ably use alkaline batteries.
Repair and disposal
• Batteries do not belong in domestic refuse. Used bat-
teries should be disposed of at the collection points
provided.
