Note:
Use four new, Long-Life 1.5 V AA batteries. Do not use batteries beyond their expira-
tion date. If the monitor is not going to be used for a prolonged period, the batteries
should be removed.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use with this device, but if
you do use them:
• Use only type NiMH reusable batteries.
• If the battery symbol (
) appears, the batteries must be removed and
recharged. They must not remain inside the instrument, as they may become
damaged through total discharge even when switched off. The batteries must NOT
be discharged in the blood pressure monitor. If you do not intend to use the instru-
ment for a week or more, always remove the rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge these batteries using an external charger and follow manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.

time each day to help ensure consistent conditions during measurements. To assist
you, this blood pressure monitor is equipped with AM/PM averaging capabilities.
To view AM/PM readings:
• With the monitor off, press “M” (Memory). The average reading for the current user
will appear.
• Press “M” again. The average of all AM readings (4 AM-12 PM), designated by the
sun icon, will be displayed on the screen.
• Press “M” again. The average of all PM readings (6 PM-12 AM), designated by the
moon icon, will be displayed on the screen.
• After 30 seconds, the display will show the last reading taken.
• To scroll through all individual readings, press “M” repeatedly.
