10. Technical alarm description

The monitor will show 'HI' or 'Lo' as technical alarm on LCD with no delay
if the determined blood pressure (systolic or diastolic) is outside the rated
range specified in part SPECIFICATIONS. In this case, you should consult
a physician or check if your operation violated the instructions.
The technical alarm condition (outside the rated range) is preset in the factory
and cannot be adjusted or inactivated. This alarm condition is assigned as
low priority according to IEC 60601-1-8. The technical alarm is non-latching
and need no reset. The signal displayed on LCD will disappear automatically
after about 8 seconds.
