Some Basic Facts on Battery Power
TONOPORT VI is either powered by two rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (NiMH) or by two alkaline
batteries. The device must be set to the power source used
(see section "Inserting Batteries"). The device also
contains a Lithium cell that powers the clock. The
Lithium cell can only be replaced by a service technician.
The capacity of two fully charged or new batteries is
sufficient for up to 400 blood pressure measurements.
The capacity of rechargeable batteries decreases with
age. If the capacity of fully charged batteries is
considerably less than 24 hours, the batteries must be
replaced.

Caution
Equipment Damage—
– Only use the original rechargeable, size AA nickel-
metal hydride batteries (from manufacturers such
as Sanyo, Panasonic, Energizer, Duracell, Varta,
GP) with a capacity > 1500 mAh or high-rate
discharge, size AA alkaline batteries (such as
Panasonic Evoia, Energizer Ultimate, Duracell
Ultra, Duracell Power Pix, Varta maxtech).
– Charge the NiMH batteries to capacity before
using them for the first time.
– Recharge the NiMH batteries immediately after
use and do not leave batteries uncharged.
– Use only the original charger to recharge the
NiMH batteries.
– Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries.
– If TONOPORT VI will not be used for one month
or more, remove the (rechargeable) batteries from
the device.
– Batteries must not be disposed as unsorted
municipal waste and must be collected separately.
Please contact an authorized representative of the
manufacturer for information concerning the
decommissioning of the batteries.
