General precautions
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measure-
ments and service life of the device depend on its careful
handling.
• Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before measur-
ing. If the measuring device has been stored close to the
maximum or minimum storage and transport tempera-
tures and is placed in an environment with a temperature
of 20 °C, it is recommended that you wait approx. 2 hours
before using the measuring device.
• Do not drop the device.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromag-
netic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the de-
vice is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending
of the cuff line.
Measures for handling batteries

choke on batteries. Therefore, store batteries out of
the reach of small children.

clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble, open or crush the batteries.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.

• If the device is not to be used for a relatively long
period, take the batteries out of the battery compart-
ment.
