CARING FOR THE DEVICE Please do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the device. This may cause fire or cause the device to malfunction. It may also lead to injury. Please do not fold the pressure cuff back against itself. Always use the pressure cuff on your upper arm and nowhere else. • Either of these actions may cause the device to malfunction. Do not apply excessive force on the device. Do not drop the device. Measurements may be impaired if the device is used close to televisions, microwave ovens, X-ray equipment or other devices with strong electrical fields. Please measure your blood pressure at a sufficient distance from such devices or switch them off. The cuff may lose some of its elasticity at temperatures below 0°C. If the device is exposed to such extreme temperatures, it is a good idea to leave it until it warms up to room temperature before taking the next measurement. As a basic principle, the device should not be exposed to extreme conditions (cold, heat, humidity, dust). Do not allow dust or other foreign objects to enter the device as this may cause it to malfunction. Cleaning the device • Do not use anything other than a cloth with warm water and a little soapy to wipe the device. • Do not use thinners, benzene, or alcohol on the device as this may cause discoloration and cracks. • Cuff can not be washed. Storage • Avoid exposing the device to high temperatures, high humidity and direct sunlight as this can cause the device to malfunction. Long-term storage • Remove the batteries before storing the device for long periods of time. Failure to do so may result in the batteries leaking, which may cause the device to malfunction. 27 TROUBLESHOOTING Display Remeasure mark E is displayed. 8/ 3 15:30 E Status before error Pressurization to more than 280mmHg was performed.
