Setup
2001589-085 Revision G TONOPORT V 15
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 / night )
– 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.

(M= BP data in memory,
measuring phase: day)
Before using TONOPORT V on a patient
1. clear the memory
2. check date and time and correct, if required
3. select a measurement protocol
4. enable or disable the audio signal.
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.
Push : the display indicates "H 1".
Push : the display indicates "LLLL".
To delete the data, push again: the display indi-
cates "0000", followed by the time (if you do not wish
to clear the memory, turn off the BP monitor instead
of pushing ).
Note
When using TONOPORT V in conjunction with
CASE™ / CardioSoft, it is recommended to
perform the first three steps at the PC.
