2. Preparation

2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries

1. Turn the main unit upside down.

2. Slide the battery cover in the

direction of the arrow while pressing the ribbed part of the cover.

3. Install or replace four “AA” size

batteries so that the + (positive) and - (negative) polarities match the polarities indicated on the battery compartment.

2. Preparation

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:

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

• 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).
