the instrument's service life depend on careful hand-
ling.
– You should protect the device from impact, mois-
ture, dirt, major temperature fluctuations and di-
rect 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 errone-
ous results will be recorded.
• Do not press any buttons until the cuff is in posi-
tion.
• 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
therefore 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 in-
strument 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
preferably use alkaline batteries.
Repair and disposal
• Batteries do not belong in domestic refuse. Used
batteries should be disposed of at the collection
points provided.
• Never open the instrument. If these instructions are
not heeded, the warranty will be null and void.
• Never attempt to repair the instrument or adjust
it yourself. We can no longer guarantee perfect
functioning if you do.
• Repairs may only be performed by Customer Serv-
ice or authorized dealers. However, always check
the batteries and replace them if necessary prior
to making any complaint.
• The appliance should be disposed of accor-
ding to Regulation 2002/96/EC-WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment). In case
of queries, please contact the municipal authorities
responsible for waste disposal in your area.
