Please use long-life alkaline batteries only (LR6).-
When replacing batteries, always replace all the batteries at the same time.-
You will need 4 x 1.5 V AA/LR6 batteries. Rechargeable batteries have a voltage of only 1.2 V and are thus not
suitable.

devices.

If the unit is not used for an extended period of time, please remove the batteries. Essentially, all batteries can leak.-
The unit may only be operated with original spare parts. The warranty will be invalidated if the unit is damaged by
non-approved accessories!
Using this unit near mobile phones, microwave ovens or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may lead to
malfunctions. See also EMC description from Page EN-63.

makers and blood pressure monitors do not influence each other in their mode of operation.
