Safety and protection
Instrument care
Clean the instrument only with a soft, dry cloth.
Accuracy test
We recommend this instrument is tested for accuracy every
2 years or after mechanical impact (e.g. being dropped). Please
contact Microlife-Service to arrange the test (see foreword).

Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
instrument as they may become damaged (total discharge
as a result of low use of the instrument, even when
switched off).

Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the instrument for a week or more.
)
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
