INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your blood pressure monitor, please read through these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. Pay particular attention to the safety measures. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the blood pressure monitor.
IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES

•Do not use the blood pressure monitor if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged by a heavy impact or similar.

•Do not use the blood pressure monitor on babies or others who cannot communicate if the armband is too tight, etc.
•The blood pressure monitor must not be immersed in water or any other liquid.
