• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pres-
sure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
• For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,
keeping long-term records is recommended.
• To minimize measurement variations due to physical ac-
tivity, rest at least 5 minutes before measuring your blood
pressure (or 15 minutes after strenuous activity).
• Stress raises blood pressure.
• Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environ-
ment at room temperature.
Battery Handling Safety Precautions
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the
batteries. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the
device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Al-
kaline and Carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries) or old
batteries with fresh ones. Always replace batteries as a
simultaneous set.
• If the batteries in the device are depleted or the device
will not be used for a long period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible bat-
tery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be re-
charged; they can overheat and rupture (follow battery
manufacturer's directions).
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may explode
or leak.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device
prior to battery installation.
• Remove discharged batteries from the product and dis-
pose/recycle in compliance with all applicable laws.
• Keep batteries away from children and pets. Batteries
may be harmful if swallowed. Should a child or pet swal-
low a battery, seek medical assistance immediately.
