Battery Life & Replacement

If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace all four batteries at the same time.

- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the batteries with new ones ahead of time.

- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at once.Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the Date/Time setting will need to be reset. See Chapter 2.2 for details.

• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.

Four new

“AA” alkaline batteries will last for approximately

1400 measurements, when used to take six measurements a day. Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have

a shorter life and not last for 1400 measurements.

2. Preparation

2.2 Setting the Date and Time

Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 84 individual measurement values with the date and time.

To make use of the memory and average values functions:

• Set the unit to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time.

• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the Date/Time setting will need to be reset.

2. Press the MEMORY button ( )

to advance the digits one at a time.

Notes:

• The range for the year setting is 2007 to 2030. If the year reaches 2030, it will return to 2007.

• If you hold down the MEMORY button ( ), the digits will advance rapidly.

3. Press the SET button to confirm

the setting when the desired

number appears on the display.

The year is set and the month digits flash on the display.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the

month.

The month is set and the day digits flash on the display.

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the

day.

The day is set and the hour digits flash on the display.

6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the

Notes on Adjusting the Date and Time Setting

If you need to adjust the date and time for some reason, or if the date and time has been reset after replacing the batteries, adjust the date and time between 10:00 and 18:59. This will avoid problems with morning and evening weekly averages stored in memory.

To adjust the date or time at a later stage, start the unit in the off position. Follow the steps below.

The auto mode symbol and the current setting (on or oFF) will appear on the display for the user ID selected.

If the year is not flashing, press the SET button once or twice until the year is flashing.

The year flashes on the display.

2. Refer to Chapter 2.2.2 to start setting the date and time.

With this manual setting of date and time the unit needs to be manually shut off. It will not automatically turn off after the minutes have been set.

2. Preparation

Notes:

• Please ensure that the date and time have been set correctly so that the weekly averages will be displayed correctly. If the Date/Time settings have been accidentally set incorrectly, press the SET button to circle through the settings in order to adjust to their correct values.

• In the case where the time displays incorrectly after a long period of non-use of the unit, reset the Date and Time (refer to Chapter 2.2 for instructions on setting the clock values). Erase the recorded values when reusing the unit (refer to Chapter 3.5 for directions on erasing the recorded values).
