• Do not perform measurements more frequently than necessary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some
bruising may occur.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff on other parts of the body.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small children if swallowed. They should therefore always be
supervised.
General precautions
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and electronic components. The accuracy of the meas-
urements and service life of the device depend on its careful handling.
• Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring. If the measuring device has been stored close
to the maximum or minimum storage and transport temperatures and is placed in an environment with a
temperature of 20 °C, it is recommended that you wait approx. 2 hours before using the measuring device.
• Do not drop the device.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems
or mobile telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of the cuff line.
• The temperature of the cuff can reach up to 42.1 °C during normal operation at an ambient temperature of
40 °C.
Measures for 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. Therefore, store batteries out of
the reach of small children.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble, open or crush the batteries.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
• 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 com-
partment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries!
Notes on electromagnetic compatibility
• The device is suitable for use in all environments listed in these instructions for use, including domestic
environments.
• The use of the device may be limited in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances. This could result in
issues such as error messages or the failure of the display/device.
