their consent.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result
in incorrect measurement results.
• Make sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body
when taking measurements at night. This could result in injury when the air
pressure in the air tube is increased.
• Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the

can cause internal bleeding.
(AC Adapter Usage)
