6. Care And Maintenance
a) Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, high
humidity, dust or direct sunlight. If the unit has been stored at very
low or freezing temperature, allow to reach room temperature
before using it.

or similar solvents. Spots on the cuff and unit can be removed
carefully with a slightly moistened cloth and soapsuds.
c) Do not drop or bang the monitor or treat it roughly in any way.

accordance with the locally applicable regulations, not with
domestic waste.
