b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA 1,5 V), thereby
observing the indicated polarity.
c) If the battery warning appears in the display, the
batteries are empty and must be replaced by new
ones.
Attention!
•
After the battery warning appears, the device is blocked until the batteries have been replaced.

Functional check:
Hold on the O/I button down to test all the display
elements. When functioning correctly all segments must
appear.
4.2. Using a mains adapter (special accessory)
It is possible to operate this blood-pressure instrument through a mains adapter (output 6V DC / 600 mA
with DIN plug). Make certain that you use a mains adapter which fulfils the legal requirements (CE sign
on the type plate).
a) Plug the DIN plug into the socket at the back of
the instrument.
b) Plug the mains adapter into a 230 V power socket.
c)
Test that power is available by pressing the
O/I button.
Note:
•
No power is taken from the batteries while the mains adapter is connected to the instrument.
• If the mains voltage is interrupted during the measurement (e.g. by removal of the mains adapter
from the mains socket), the instrument must be reset by removing the DIN plug from its socket.
• Please consult a specialist dealer if you have questions relating to the mains adapter.
