Battery life and replacement:
• With the use of high performance alkaline batteries (two AAA batteries),
you can measure approximately 400 times if you use this monitor at room
temperature of 22°C and inflate it to 170 mmHg, three times a day.
• The battery life varies with the ambient temperature. At low temperature
such as during winter, battery life is shortened compared with the normal
temperature of 22°C.
• The batteries included are for monitoring only and may not last 400 times.
• If the battery replacement mark
flashes, or if the monitor does not
inflate when the START/STOP button is pressed, replace the two
batteries with new ones of the same type.
• If you hold down the START/STOP button, batteries will wear out. Keep
the monitor in the storage case when carrying or storing to avoid pressing
on the START/STOP button.
• Replace the batteries while the power is turned off (when nothing is
displayed).
