REPLACING THE BATTERIES
When the batteries are approximately 25% full
the battery symbol will appear on the Qardio
app blood pressure measurement screen.
Although the QardioArm will continue to
measure reliably, you should obtain
replacement batteries.
If the empty battery symbol appears on the
Qardio app, your QardioArm batteries are
depleted and it’s time to replace them. You
cannot take any further measurements and
must replace the batteries.
You should replace all four AAA alkaline
batteries at the same time.
Use 4 new, long-life 1.5V, size AAA batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their expiration
date, and do not use rechargeable batteries.
To replace batteries:
1. Release the batteries compartment hatch by
pressing the button under the cuff as shown
in the drawing.
2. Replace all four AAA alkaline batteries with
new ones, ensuring that the polarities are
correctly aligned: the + (positive) and –
(negative) polarities should match the
polarities indicated on the AAA alkaline
batteries compartment.
3. Put the batteries compartment hatch back in
place, pushing until it clicks in place.
4. You will see a green light shining through the
batteries compartment hatch.
