Performance Check
When turned on, TONOPORT V runs a self-test that
includes all symbols and segments on the LCD (Fig. 3-5).
Then it checks the batteries and indicates the remaining
capacity. "A 100", for instance, means that the
rechargeable batteries have a capacity of 100%, i.e., they
are fully charged. "b 50" means that the alkaline batteries
have a capacity of only 50%, i.e., they are half depleted.
The minimum battery capacity for a 24-hour
measurement is 90%.
If the capacity is below 90%, new or fully charged
batteries must be inserted.
BP monitors that have passed the self-test and completed
the battery test will indicate the following information:
– the time of day
– the measuring phase (day
– whether or not data are stored in the BP monitor (M)
(Fig. 3-6).
The BP monitor will also emit an audio signal, if enabled.

When using TONOPORT V in conjunction with
CASE™ / CardioSoft, it is recommended to
perform the first three steps at the PC.
Clear the Memory
The symbol M on the display indicates that memory
contains BP data. If these data still need to be analyzed,
refer to chapter 5 "Data Output" for details on data
evaluation. If you do not need the data any more, delete it
as follows:
Briefly switch TONOPORT V off and on again and
wait for the time to be displayed.
