possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year number
therefore flashes automatically after the batteries are replaced.

Use 2 new, long-life 1.5V, size AAA batteries.
)
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
)
Remove batteries if the instrument is not going to be used for
a prolonged period.

Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the

to use the instrument for a week or more.

Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
