ment should be carried out in a quiet comfortable atmosphere at room temperature.
Exclude meal an hour before the measurement, and exclude smoking, soft drinks, and
alcohol 1.5-2 hours before the measurement.
7. Accuracy of the blood pressure measurement depends on matching the device
cuff and size of your arm. THE CUFF SHOULD NOT BE TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG.
8. Repeated measurements are carried out at 5-minute intervals to recover the blood
circulation. However, persons suff ering from severe atherosclerosis, due to a signifi cant
loss of elasticity of blood vessels, need longer intervals between measurements (10-15
minutes). This also concerns patients suff ering from long-term diabetes. For more ac-
curate determination of blood pressure it is recommended to carry out a series of three
consecutive measurements and to calculate the average value of measurement results.
9. Do not use this device in an explosive environment such as near fl ammable anes-
thetics or inside oxygen chamber.
10. The system may fail to yield specifi ed measurement accuracy if operated or stored
in temperature or humidity conditions outside the limits stated in the specifi cations
section of this manual.
11. Do not use cuff s or accessories other than those specifi ed by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, correct measurement readings cannot be obtained.
12. Do not apply the cuff over wounded arm, arm under an intravascular access or
therapy or an arterio-venous shunt, or arm on the side of a mastectomy or lymph
node clearance. Otherwise injury may be resulted.
13. Make sure that infl ation of the cuff is not causing prolonged impairment of blood
circulation. Also, be cautious about temporary loss of the functions of any other medi-
cal equipment if any monitoring equipment is used on the same limb with the blood
pressure measuring cuff .
14. To avoid harmful injury due to interfered blood fl ow from cuff infl ation, make sure
that AIR HOSE is not kinking before measurement. Otherwise, cuff infl ation may not
be conducted properly and prolonged.
15. Do not take out batteries or unplug the AC adaptor when the device is turned on.
Make sure to switch off the device before removing batteries or AC adaptor.
16. Do not touch the output plug of AC adaptor during measurement.
17. Do not infl ate the cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
18. Do not apply the cuff on the limb which the intravenous drip infusion is imple-
mented.
POWER SUPPLY OF THE DEVICE
INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES
Fig.2
Allowed to rechargeable batteries. To charge the batteries, use the special charger
(not included).
3. Close the battery compartment. Do not use excessive force when removing the cover.
Do not use excessive force when removing the cover.
Battery Replacement Indicator
Replace all the batteries when the battery replacement indicator is fl ashing on
the display during the measurement. If upon the device turning on the indicator
is steadily fl ashing, the measurement will not be possible until all the batteries are
replaced. The battery replacement indicator does not show a discharge degree.
Use alkaline batteries to increase the device operation duration. Ordinary zinc-carbon
batteries require more frequent replacement. The enclosed batteries are meant for
testing the sold device, and their operation period can be less than that of batteries
acquired in the trade network.
Since neither the device nor the batteries are the waste that can be utilized at home,
follow your national/local regulations for waste recycling and take them to corre-
sponding collection faciliti
es.

1. Open the battery compart-
ment (Fig. 2).
2. Install four "AA" batteries in
the compartment.
Make sure that polarity corre-
sponds to signs (+) and (-) shown
inside the compartment (Fig. 3).
Batteries are readily installed
by pressing the end "-" on the
