4.1 Inserting/Replacing batteries
WARNING:
• Swallowing batteries and/or battery fluid can be extremely
dangerous. Keep the batteries and the unit out of the reach of
children and disabled persons. Should any person swallow a
battery and/or battery fluid, please call 911 immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated by any other
means. The batteries may explode.
• Batteries should not be taken apart, thrown in the fire or short
circuited. The batteries may explode.
• Should battery fluid leak and come into contact with your eyes
or skin immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Please
call 911 immediately.
CAUTION:
• If a battery has leaked do not touch the battery fluid. Avoid skin
contact (e.g. put on protective gloves) and clean the battery
compartment with a dry cloth.
NOTICE:
• Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to the environ-
ment. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applic-
able local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries with normal
household waste.
• Always use the size and type of battery indicated. The use of
other batteries will damage the device.
• Never use different types of batteries, battery brands or bat-
teries with different capacities. This may damage the unit. You
should preferably use alkaline batteries.
• Never use rechargeable batteries. This may damage the unit.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time and use batteries
of the same type.
• Replace weak batteries before they discharge completely. When
appears in the display please change the batteries.
• Leaking batteries may damage the device. If you do not intend
to use the unit for longer periods, remove the batteries from the
battery compartment before placing the device in storage.
Note: You can only operate the blood pressure monitor with bat-
teries. Note that it is only possible to save data when your blood
pressure monitor is receiving power. As soon as the batteries are
dead, date and time on the blood pressure monitor are lost.
• Remove the battery cover from the
back of the monitor.
• Clean the battery contacts and those
of the device prior to installation with
a soft dry cloth.
• Insert or replace only four 1.5 V "AAA"
alkaline batteries. Make absolutely
sure that you insert them with the cor-
rect polarity (+/-) as indicated (see the
diagram inside the battery compartment). Do not use other types
of batteries.
• Replace the battery cover carefully.
If the battery change
ment is no longer possible and you must replace all the batteries.
Once batteries have been removed from the device, the date and
time must be reset. Memories (if any) will not be deleted during
battery replacement.
4.2 Setting date and time
It is vital to set the date and time. This is the only way that measure-
ments can be saved and recalled with the correct date and time.
