• The automatic switch-off function switches off the
blood pressure monitor in order to preserve the bat-
teries, if no button is pressed within one minute.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument's service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact,
moisture, dirt, major temperature fluctuations and
direct 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 erroneous
results will be recorded.
• Do not press any buttons until the cuff is in position.
• 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 the-
refore 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 instru-
ment for any length of time. This prevents any da-
mage 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 func-
tioning 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
