Operation Manual

12
• The automatic switch-off function switches off the blood
pressure monitor in order to preserve the batteries, 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 expo-
sure 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 therefore
store the batteries and products where they are inacces-
sible 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 instrument for any
length of time. This prevents any damage as a result of lea-
kage. 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 batte-
ries should be disposed of at the collection points pro-
vided.
• 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 your-
self. We can no longer guarantee perfect functioning if
you do.
• Repairs may only be performed by Customer Service or
authorized dealers. However, always check the batteries
and replace them if necessary prior to making any com-
plaint.
• The appliance should be disposed of according
to Regulation 2002/96/EC-WEEE (Waste Electri-
cal and Electronic Equipment). In case of queries,
please contact the municipal authorities responsible for
waste disposal in your area.
