ure, the memory retains all values measured;
the date and time must, however, be reset.
This is indicated by the year flashing.
For changing the batteries and resetting the date/
time please follow the instructions in chapter 1 on
page 9.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Please use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V alkaline
batteries, size AA.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of
expiry.
If the monitor is not going to be used for a
prolonged period of time the batteries must
be removed.
Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this monitor with rechargea-
ble batteries.

When the flat battery symbol appears,
remove the batteries and recharge them. They
must not remain in the monitor as they may
become destroyed (exhaustive discharge due
to low consumption of the monitor even when
switched off).

if you do not intend to use the device for a
week or more .
The batteries CANNOT be charged while

charge the batteries in an external charger
