• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with bat-
teries or with a mains adapter. For mains operation, the
device must be set up so that it can be disconnected by
the user at any time. As soon as the batteries are empty
or the mains adapter is disconnected from the power
supply, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and
time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any buttons
for 30 seconds.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measured
values and service life of the device depend on its careful
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.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the de-
vice will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid,
rinse the affected areas with water and seek medical
assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and
choke on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of
small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean
the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• If the device is not to be used for a relatively long period,
take the batteries out of the battery compartment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not disassemble, split or crush the batteries.
