Discontinuing a Measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any
reason (e.g the patient feels unwell), the Start/Stop button can be
pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff
pressure automatically.
Battery Change Indicator
Batteries discharged– replacements required
When the batteries are discharged, the battery symbol will flash as
soon as the instrument is switched on. You cannot take any further
measurements and must replace the batteries.
The battery compartment is located on the back side of the unit
a) Remove cover from the bottom plate, as illustrated below pictu-
re-08
b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AAA ). Always use AAA long life bat-
teries or alkaline 1.5v batteries.
c) The memory retains all values although date and time must be
reset - the year number therefore flashes automatically after the
batteries are replaced.
d) To set date and time, follow the procedure described in Section
4.2.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use four new 1.5V AAA batteries. Do not use batteries beyond their
expiration date. If the monitor is not going to be used for a prolonged
period the batteries should be removed.
