Precautions

Precision components are used in the construction of this device. Extremes
in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, shock or dust should be avoided.
Clean the device and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with
water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner or
other harsh chemicals to clean the device or cuff.
Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the hose tightly twisted for long
periods, as such treatment may shorten the life of the components.
The device and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water
from soiling the device and cuff.
Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions,
microwave ovens, cellular telephones, X-ray or other devices with strong
electrical fields.
Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary
household waste, and must be disposed of according to the applicable
local regulations.
When the AC adapter is used, make sure that the AC adapter can be
readily removed from the electrical outlet when necessary.
When reusing the device, confirm that the device is clean.
Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device.
To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the cuff hard
enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause
pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the arm. This condition will
appear especially when measurement is repeated successively.
Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
