3) Low battery alarm
If the battery voltage becomes considerably low, the LED display blinks red and the U-WAVE-T sends
a low battery alarm error to the U-WAVE-R. Immediately replace the battery.
(The buzzer type alarms a low battery voltage with a buzzer sound along with a blinking LED.)
In addition, the battery (CR2032) used as the power supply for the U-WAVE-T has such a property that
the battery voltage is abruptly restored in a period when the battery has been exhausted, if
measurement data is consecutively transmitted at intervals of several seconds. In such cases,
although low battery alarm errors are not output, the LED display becomes dark and the buzzer sound
becomes small gradually. In such cases, replace the battery immediately.
IMPORTANT
• Always use the CR2032 battery (lithium battery).
• The battery supplied at the time of purchase is to check the functions and performance of the
U-WAVE-T. The predetermined length of life may not be met.
• Even for the used CR2032 battery, its voltage may recover in a short time after it is removed from
the U-WAVE-T. However, do not continue to use the old battery. Be sure to replace the battery
with a new one.
• Upon disposal of the battery comply with the related ordinance, regulation, etc.
• When removing or setting the battery, exercises care so as not to break or bend the battery terminal
by applying an undue force to it. Especially, if a broken piece of the battery terminal should enter

[6] Functions
1) Data communication
The U-WAVE-T performs data communication with DATA switch as shown below.
Transmits measurement data. t ≤ 2sec None
Transmits the Cancel command. 2 sec < t ≤ 5 sec Orange blinking
Executes U-WAVE-R search. 5 sec < t ≤ 10 sec Orange blinking
NOTE
• The Cancel command is a command to inform a U-WAVE-R of data error when wrong measurement
data is transmitted to the U-WAVE-R due to an operating error. However, the wrong measurement data
is not canceled by the command. It is to inform that the previous data is different from measuring value.
• When the U-WAVE-R search is executed, U-WAVE-T is connected with U-WAVE-R that
can be registered.
• If the DATA switch is held down for more than 10 seconds, the orange LED stops blinking and nothing
will function.
The U-WAVE-T can check whether to have performed normal communication with a U-WAVE-R
by a specific LED display (and buzzer sound).
However, buzzer sounds are available only for the buzzer type U-WAVE-T.
