Precautions
Precision components are used in the construction of this device. Extremes in
temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, shock or dust should be avoided.
Clean the device and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water
and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner or other harsh
chemicals to clean the device or cuff.
Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the hose tightly twisted for long periods, as
such treatment may shorten the life of the components.
The device and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water from
soiling the device and cuff.
Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions,
microwave ovens, cellular telephones, X-ray or other devices with strong
electrical fields.
Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary household waste,
and must be disposed of according to the applicable local regulations.
When the AC adapter is used, make sure that the AC adapter can be readily
removed from the electrical outlet when necessary.
When reusing the device, confirm that the device is clean.
Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device.
To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough
to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness
or a temporary red mark to the arm. This condition will appear especially when
measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will
disappear with time.

Do not apply the cuff on an arm with another medical electrical equipment attached.
The equipment may not function properly.
People who have a severe circulatory deficit in the arm must consult a doctor
before using the device, to avoid medical problems.
Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by yourself.
Always consult your doctor for evaluation of the results and treatment.
Do not apply the cuff on an arm with an unhealed wound.
