er devices with strong electromagnetic fields can cause malfunctions
and inaccurate measurements. During use, maintain a distance of at
least 30 cm from such devices.
• Never open or modify the device or the cuff (except for replacing the
batteries). If the unit has been opened, it must be subjected to a me-
trological inspection by an authorised institution.
