Storage and Care
•
The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision electron-
ic 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 origi-
nal 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.
