4. Putting the blood-pressure monitor into operation
Attention!
After the battery warning appears, the device is blocked until the batteries have been replaced.
Please use AA Long-Life or Alkaline 1.5 V Batteries. The use of 1.2 V Accumulators is not recom-
mended.
If the blood-pressure monitor is left unused for long periods, please remove the batteries from
the device.
Functional check
Hold on the O/I button down to test all the display elements. When functioning correctly all segments
must appear.
4.2. Using a mains adapter
It is possible to operate this blood-pressure instrument through a mains adaptor (output 6 V DC
/ 600 mA with DIN plug). Make certain that you use a mains adaptor AD-1024C manufactured by
B.Well or Microlife. The use of any other adapters can make yours warranty void.
a) Plug the DIN plug into the socket at the
left side of the instrument.
b) Plug the mains adaptor into a 240/110 V
power socket.
c) Test that power is available by pressing the
O/I button.
Note
• No power is taken from the batteries while the mains adaptor is connected to the instrument.
• If the mains voltage is interrupted during the measurement (e.g. by removal of the mains
adaptor from the mains socket), the instrument must be reset by removing the DIN plug from
its socket.
• Please consult a specialist dealer if you have questions relating to the mains adaptor.
