Performance Check
When turned on, TONOPORT VI runs a self-test that
includes all symbols and segments on the LCD (Fig. 3-4).
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 ), and
– whether data are stored in the BP monitor (M) (Fig. 3-
5).
The BP monitor will also emit an audio signal if enabled.
