Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and

handling:
– Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked
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.
– Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original
replacement parts. Otherwise incorrect measured values
will be recorded.

vice will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
Notes on handling batteries

rinse the affected areas with water and seek medical
assistance.

choke on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of
small children.
